Yes, if you want to address the issue. Whether you should is another question. That is what the higher levels of government do. When the majority of citizens need something, you essentially use threat of violence to take it by force. You will never fix the "nimby problem" any other way.

Communist governments used the threat of violence to take by farmland by force. How did that turn out?

Worked out well in areas like Hawaii and many of the US territories we took by force.

Colonialism, applied on behalf of the majority. Only done to their own citizens this time, those citizens othered using terms like “nimby”.
It certainly rhymes with how we’ve done things in the past.
