Sick of NIMBYs Blocking Progress

I'm at my wit's end with all these local residents' groups constantly blocking new housing developments in our area. It's like they think the world owes them a right to live in a quiet little bubble, unaffected by the needs of anyone else. Newsflash: we need more houses, and we need them now, or my own kids will be stuck renting forever.

I'd change the planning laws to make it harder for these groups to veto every single proposal that comes their way. I mean, I get it, nobody wants a huge tower block looming over their garden, but sometimes you have to think about the greater good. We need to build more homes, and we need to build them where people actually want to live, not just on some scrubland miles from the nearest town. It's not like we're talking about destroying the countryside here, just using the land we already have in a more sensible way.
