Europe has no visible NIMBY movement because its NIMBYs already won: nobody proposes suburban densification, so nobody has to fight it.

I suspect the same is often true in the rest of Europe: NIMBYism is the ultimate reason why the French and German states don’t solve their housing shortages through unbanning densification, but since the claims of the NIMBYs have been preemptively conceded by everyone, NIMBYism has basically remained latent.
