It's heavily resistant to change. It's really difficult to build new housing for example due to nimbyism. Many people are trying to remove the parklets and slow street programs. There is simply no progress in this city. It is literally conservative. I think you look at places like Miami and south Florida, they are a lot better at building new housing because they have vastly different policies. The really hip areas are definitely expensive, but a house is still generally attainable in the greater south Florida area. I think SF wants itself to be perceived as an amazing place full of progress and inclusivity when it's really not that at all. It makes progress on civil rights only because the people of SF don't have to sacrifice anything to allow that to happen. But the second you want to change anything where they'd have to sacrifice for the collective good they fight tooth and nail. It's not all SF residents, but many are like this. You can hear it when the BoS accepts public comment.
