I’m very glad that you’re thinking about EA-aligned policy advocacy outside the United States!
For what it’s worth, Open New York has had recent victories—due in part to their advocacy, the city council has approved rezonings of the Gowanus and SoHo/​NoHo neighborhoods in NYC. Also, a relatively small amount of money can go a long way—ONY’s budget is not large, and they just hired an executive director recently. Together, these points make me think that advocating for rezonings is highly tractable.
