YIMBY organization is the answer, but we have a long way to go.

Doing some of this work locally is one of the more rewarding things I've ever done. "DC level politics" tend to be long, drawn out fights, but a few people can make a big difference locally. I've seen homes get built that I showed up to say 'yes!' to. These are both great groups:

This is entirely possible and worthwhile; few people who are happy with how things are going bother to show up at all, so the only people who do are the people with a gripe or a grudge.

Even just a note to the city council saying "thanks" when you notice a new development is way more than most will ever do.
