[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Only in MoCo do people want fewer homes for others to live in and businesses for them to work at or shops to buy things. You don't "tax a developer" $20,000 for a new house, that developer doesn't pay the tax they simply charges $20,000 more for the home. It an additional tax on home ownership. NIMBYism is the reason San Francisco is such a mess right now. They won't let people build new housing so prices have skyrocketed. [/quote]

San Francisco's a mess because at least partially because it's a peninsula in an earthquake zone. There are practical considerations at play.  [/quote]

"Regardless of these realities, most San Francisco progressives chose to stick with their familiar stance of opposing new development, positioning themselves as defenders of the city’s physical character. Instead of forming a pro-growth coalition with business and labor, most of the San Francisco Left made an enduring alliance with home-owning NIMBYs. It became one of the peculiar features of San Francisco that exclusionary housing politics got labeled “progressive.” (Organized labor remained a major political force throughout this time period, and has allied with both pro-growth and anti-growth forces, depending on the issue.) Over the years, these anti-development sentiments were translated into restrictive zoning, the most cumbersome planning and building approval process in the country, and all kinds of laws and rules that make it uniquely difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to add housing in San Francisco."
