Preempt stupid locals and their dumb laws at the state level. The local politicians can say they did everything they could to stop it, housing gets built, and prices start to come down. This problem is not unique to the area. Idiotic nimbys need to be stopped but it's impossible if the fights have to happen at a local level, one municipality at a time. The interests of a few rich assholes shouldn't trample the interests of the entire area, its infrastructure, and housing supply.
