I've never seen a politician openly run on a "I will exacerbate the housing shortage by any means necessary" NIMBY platform. They may have promised key donors they would, but how often do the voters know that?

No, but they still run on what their constituents want, and act on those wants via how they execute their office. Key donors are probably a lot more for growth than key constituents.
