Local Opinion: Housing crisis needs creativity, not NIMBY-ism

This opinion writer champions creating housing around Tucson on infill sites where roads and utilities already are in place—such as an abandoned golf course in the case of the proposed Quail Canyon—rather than bulldozing pristine desert. She decries the rampant NIMBYism that opposes any new housing from being built near existing neighborhoods, and she suggests using “more reason and less emotion” in considering how to make more housing available. A third-generation Arizonan, she espouses responsible growth to provide housing stock at all levels rather than “nostalgia for a time when we were a sleepy desert hamlet.”
