The nerve of homeowners blocking housing development is the height of entitlement and the "I've got mine" attitude. This isn't a "check your entitlement" issue. It's a "having a roof over my head" issue.
I think it's natural for people to be at least somewhat self-interested - but society is also a large-scale system of cooperation. When housing in Vancouver is as scarce as it is now, people who are trying to block new housing (e.g. because it might interfere with their views) are basically refusing to cooperate.
