It's funny seeing that people's attitudes haven't changed in 100 years. Today in San Francisco you still see a small minority of NIMBYs protesting every little change. But the difference is, now they actually have the power to completely block projects. What changed?

If I had to wager, I would say CEQA making it much harder to build, and much easier to block any construction.
