How does your theory explain the difference in housing prices between San Francisco and Lubbock?

The "theory" relates to increase over time for a single location, not differences between 2 locations at a single point in time. But to stick to your example, investors are more likely to flock to a location with greater returns. At the same time, Lubbock hasn't exactly remained stagnant.

Why are you so sure the outsized returns don't have anything to do with zoning?
