Yes, the best kept one being that it's overblown with NIMBYism. It's residents like to think it's on par with places like Seattle in terms of social progress, but it's all talk and no one seems willing to write the checks. It's very pretty though!

It's funny because Seattle has and has been having a serious problem with NIMBYism for a while now. We're headed towards being the next SF and nobody's willing to give up their sweet single family housing designation to save the place. Same issue for our abysmal mass transit - a hyper-wealthy island community between Seattle and Bellevue is raising taxes to fund a law suit against WSDOT to stop light rail from going through their area because it would cost them dedicated single occupancy use of the HOV lanes. Can't make this shit up.

Seattle is building a lot better than SF, although it could certainly be better still.
