If you want to understand how California’s NIMBYism squandered one of the greatest economic opportunities in nearly a century, consider that over the last 15 years, Silicon Valley’s GDP nearly tripled, yet it approved less housing than Austin, Texas has in just four years.

Silicon Valley looks like the suburban sprawl ringing every American city, except the crappy 70 year old tract houses all cost $2,500,000. It’s just a profound failure of governance and planning.
