But you can be fine with density and still be against a particular project because it's not sensible. It's easy to paint people opposed to this as NIMBY's, but it's just not the case.

The whole issue of densification has become extremely dogmatic.
It’s reasonable to say we need more densification in this city. It’s not reasonable to reflexively champion each and any proposed densification project and to denounce any criticism or opposition as privileged NIMBYism.
Yes, some #######s are going to oppose any development that changes their neighbourhood. But it doesn’t follow that any criticism of a particular project is illegitimate.
