I can't blame them either, Planning in the anglosphere is needlessly confusing.
A more nuanced look at why 'X upzoning' worked and 'Y upzoning' didn't is necessary and that requires planning experience. Every zoning bylaw is unique. Saying "the results of upzoning have been mixed" doesn't cut it.

...this right through a decision in Region of Waterloo v. Persons Unknown (2023). Residents of an encampment in Kitchener can now legally exist on public land, where alternative stable shelter does not exist.
This decision is being shamelessly disregarded by various Ontario municipalities...

...because of the "concerns" of nearby landowners.
If people who are homeless are not able to exist in public space, they are forced to exist at the mercy of private landowners, in this case, Walmart.
