But take a moment and look on a satellite map at how much land in the bay area is completely undeveloped, most of it on hillsides. Because... unlike certain other parts in the U.S. (or California, even) people in the Bay Area recognize the value of maintaining at least a few tiny shards of open, undeveloped space -- and have, over decades and generations, fought hard to preserve these spaces? It's not NIMBYism -- it's common sense, and basic ecological awareness.
