Preserving nice low density areas is not selfish. Why does everyone need to be entitled to live anywhere they want?

[originldirgibl]

Is everybody conversely entitled to live in low density areas?

I don't see anyone from the suburbs demanding to demolish Manhattan and turn it into farm land. Likewise I wouldn't demand to have housing built for me in a specific town instead of living elsewhere.

Maybe because that's where the best jobs are. Maybe because that's where they're from and it's not their fault they're getting priced out (gentrification). Maybe because they just really like the place. In any case, you don't get to be a gatekeeper. Cities are public.

If the OP doesn’t get to be a gatekeeper, why do you get to be a change agent?

[AmericanChopper]

Population growth is the change agent.
