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.

Tons of laws changed, particularly in response to the construction of urban highways and “slum clearance” both of which involved the demolition of entire neighborhoods
