I investigated into developing in Half Moon Bay, which is zoned by San Mateo County. There's wide swathes of land up for grabs, but the county or the council forbids development unless you buy enough land and come up with a proposal. This ends up costing in $5-$10 million of undeveloped land alone (no sewage line connection and no electricity). And these lands are planned unit developments, which in practicality means homes only for the wealthy.

San Mateo and Marin have always opposed development. It has given us great open spaces up 101 down 280 and along 1. Its an odd position to defend, no development in Marin and San Mateo, but increased developement in San Francisco yet thats my view

Even in the spaces that are not open space San Mateo opposes apartments.
