But the key is who regulates, prohibits, etc.

If that power is local, NIMBY always wins. These decisions must be made at the state level. Cities are way too fractured into myriad municipalities competing for jobs and "quality" housing.

The power is with rich locals.

I'd assume state power is with the same rich folks, so it's still NIMBY, but the state can force it on poor locals. Woooo
