The NIMBYs don't want to let me build what I want on my own land.

Then move somewhere that does let you build it. Your local community has made a decision to disallow whatever it is you want to construct.
Can I not, as part of my local community, advocate for my right to build what I want on my land? Can the person who wants to have only low density not move somewhere else if the community decides to allow density?
Yes. But clearly that isn’t what your community wants or they would have voted to ease zoning restrictions.
