Why it’s so hard, and so important, to embrace change

I talk a lot about how a fundamental fear of change is at the heart of most opposition to new, denser housing, zoning reform, and affordable housing developments. These are things we need, but far too many of us are far too good at finding reasons they should go somewhere else. Most people that oppose the policies I advocate for aren’t driven just by misanthropy, malice, or greed, but by a combination of those fears.
