It seems so clear that the way forward is not to try to convince people to sacrifice the foundation of their financial security but is rather to compensate them.

Make it so neighbors are competing to host whatever they are NIMBYing about currently because it comes with a package of goodies that will offset the problems. It doesn't have to include much new spending, rebalancing or reprioritization of existing resources to ensure fairness can be part of it.

Is this the norm? I feel like I haven't heard it often during debates over unpopular new developments.
