I thought the bay area is very liberal? Japan which is a very conservative country, both in absolute terms and as a general philosophy, has very lax zoning rule

  The Bay Area is many things to many different types of people. Unfortunately it is also very segregated: http://www.radicalcartography.net/index.html?bayarea http://www.radicalcartography.net/index.html?bayarea

  From what I've experienced, the majority of the Bay Area is very liberal up until the point it actually costs them something - then it quickly becomes a conservative paradise. People will shout and scream and boycott to make sure you can use whatever bathroom you choose. Or make sure that everyone respects your choice of pronouns. But ask those same people to build more housing and provide ample public transit? Ask those same people to close all private schools and force people to use public school lottery systems that mingle rich, middle-class, and poor? Absolutely never. They isolate into their communities and tell the folks trying to get in that their town is now full.
