Absolutely. Dealing with homelessness even in my small city, the continued proposal of new housing programs always runs into the roadblock of location. Always met with protesting and picketing.
On a larger scale, there is a severe housing supply shortage nationally and even internationally that homeowners are largely responsible for, as they have the same response when multi-family unit construction is proposed. Places like the Bay Area desperately need to be turning single lots into housing for 4-6 people, but cannot do so.
