people in the bay area loves chiding LA like this.
but you are quickly starting to understand first hand how exactly LA came to be the way it is. it was/is a mixture of extremely powerful political, economic, and social forces exerted over generations.
unfortunately SF/the bay is doing nothing to fix it -- at long last LA is building new housing, mixed-used real estate, and new light rail and other public transit very aggressively.
it will probably take the bay area another 2-3 decades to overcome the resistance, just like LA.
