But that’s not even the case... when I lived in SF and went to public housing hearings, NIMBYs would show up in droves to protest housing being built literally amongst skyscrapers in the financial district on the Embarcadero, which is about as far as one could get to a working-class, poor neighborhood where people will be displaced. NIMBYism in SF has gone far beyond worries about eviction into an all out war to fossilize SF as it is today.
