Pretty much the entire YIMBY movement is built on this premise.
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

I don‘t even like the gondola! But the California Endowment has been pouring so much money into stirring up fake outrage that I’m being negatively polarized into supporting the project.

The coalition of LA residents who oppose the Dodger Stadium gondola shut down the Metro board of directors meeting Thursday.
They forced the meeting into recess and demanded that officials at minimum allow public discussion on the project. This is a developing story.

1. Cars are the biggest source of climate pollution in the country.
2. Transportation is the biggest household expense after rent/mortgage.
2. State and local gov't could cut these numbers by about 25% in five years without any federal policy.

The entire apparatus of planning created a web of meetings, outreach, environmental reports, studies, and committee approvals to operate exactly this way—to make any housing project go through a painful decades long process to get a permit
I was 19 when I asked that my BART parking lot be turned into housing. It was a pipedream. @alfredtwu.com made a drawing of apartments here that caused a neighborhood freakout. I met @libbington.bsky.social and she organized the area pro-housers. At 29, it finally begins.

The reason drivers kill so many people in the United States is that *they want to* and our political "leaders" are weak-willed cowards and apologists for violence who are more afraid of angry drivers than dead citizens.
And that's a fucking fact.
