But you can't have it both ways, and this isn't me arguing, just making a point.

Some company comes in and buys up an abandoned apartment complex, fixes it up, and then people complain, even if they are apartments that are built for ownership.

Mainly becasue anything being sold by a "corporation" is seen as evil.

I agree this is bad and is an issue I have with progressives. Developers and corporations build housing..you can't reflexively hate them!

But yes, many people are essentially NIMBYS, regardless of being on the left or the right, and don't actually like increased housing and large number of people, and many have different reasons, some being bad and some being good. So while I support many policies to increase density, I am well aware they are not actually popular...yet. But we should still legalize those policies.
