I have to imagine it took significant time to crystalize thoughts into words for this one. I find there are an infinite number of ways to be critical the most innocuous of acts.
I think housing is a particularly sticky example. On a fundamental level, housing security is inevitably in opposition to environmental protectionism. Sure we can talking about changing zoning laws, higher density, etc, but at the end of the day, this obfuscates the issue. Housing security and environmental protectionism are fundamentally in opposition to each other. Hopefully we can all collectively recognize these kinds of unavoidable dilemmas and not tear each other down in our best-faith efforts to do good.
Granted, the game of democratic politics typically necessitates that one must advance in bad-faith to win soooo... it's quite the problem we have on our hands.
