Pro-housing principles have been quite popular with California voters; Scott Wiener (the state senator with the most aggressive upzoning bills) is the most popular elected official in SF even. It's just they're only popular at the state level, not the local level - that's what it means to be a NIMBY. But none of the major YIMBY policies have lost anyone an election yet that I know of.
