I just realized the biggest irony about San Francisco: by working to block development to prevent San Francisco from physically changing, the NIMBYs are driving real estate hyperinflation that is destroying its culture. A pro-development San Francisco would probably indeed look like Manhattan by now, but it might still be home to quite a few artists and counterculture types along with all the nerds and businesspeople.
