Sure we do, but not vertically stacked housing in the same "safe areas." We need to take care of the whole city which has ample space for housing and businesses.
I wouldn't assume a white woman from Bellevue would understand that though

It’s also kind of incorrect since urban NIMBYs tend to be upper class whites

I would respond to your point if I could understand what your point is. I'm not proposing highrises in safe areas.
My opinion (and I am not the organizer of this event) is that Richmond needs more "missing middle" housing and that it would be great if we could prioritize redevelopment of empty lots and surface parking lots.

Lol. You're confirming all of our suspicions. You're trying to cram more stuff in to crowded places when there are parts of the city that have been in need of revitalization for over 50 years. Take a trip south on Richmond Highway. Pretty affordable housing that way, but I know for certain you and Sarah Foote would never dare to live there.
People think it's a simple supply and demand curve. But it's not.
