Allowing commercial inside residential areas the way most countries outside the US do could help the US too. That way people wouldn’t need a car for basic necessities.
In my city near Los Angeles they proposed to turn a parking lot into a 5 story affordable housing complex. All the NIMBYs came out of the woodwork to fight it claiming “it will hurt the neighborhood charm and character of single family homes.” The city said F OFF and are moving forward with the plan anyways.
Some anti-NIMBY regulation could probably help too at least when it comes to residential buildings.
Yes, rezoning for denser housing and removing unneeded or dangerous commercial zoning could help too.

Looking at the drama that’s currently going on in my small village, NIMBY is a hell of a drug. Not sure how we can regulate that.
Wouldn’t that be YIMBY?
