NIMBY is an inherently local problem, and from what I've heard, that is at the heart of SF's issues: "you can't build affordable housing here, that will lower my property values"; "you can't build a big apartment building here, that will destroy the quaint local character".

I'm not saying that's a problem unique to SF, but SF can solve it without fixing the political issues that affect the rest of the country.
