try to build in San Francisco, just try. The latest attempt was shot down because it would have shadow encroach eighteen percent of a city park, not even where kids congregate as its a two acre park next to a school [1]. This was after getting past every previous hurdle. As in, when anyone can block a private project nothing gets done. Oh you can try to put one up but you have to buy everyone off or so handicap your project it cannot be affordably built. Another horror story is the ever ongoing saga to build apartments by a laundromat owner [2] America's housing project is simply because of government and the courts. Politicians through special interest groups which funnel money to their campaign and friends; namely highly paid positions with little more than a part time job, to courts which treat every opposing idea as having merit.
