    I think they’re not being built in most US (and maybe Canadian?) cities because nimbys only want single-family detached houses to be built to preserve their home’s value

    least that’s what I’ve gathered from watching youtube videos on urban planning and reading articles

      Gotcha. I’m in Seattle and I see a lot being built here.

      People want single family detached homes, not because they want to preserve their home value, but because they want to preserve their quality of life.
