How much of this crisis is caused by NIMBYs? Like 95%?

I am still not sure if this is all NIMBY caused or if it has to do with high cost of business and regulation, leaving little return for developers.

I understand places like the Bay (especially the peninsula) and San Diego are quite conservative when it comes to upzoning, which is odd, due to the region's uber liberal population.

Oakland could really take advantage of this housing crisis and up zone it's entire western half and absorb a good 150,000 people, but BART will need significant help to deal.
