As progressive as this state is, a lot of those progressive NIMBYs sure like to keep housing and progress out of their communities in the name of "Property Values"

Faux progressive, not actually progressive. You can see as much from the many NIMBYs in this thread.

So where do actual progressive live? Every left leaning city in the country has the same problem with this.

Pro-housing advocates have scored a bunch of wins in California, by organizing to counter local NIMBYs and working through the state legislature and a good governor to override local vetoes.

What I'm saying is it doesn't matter where the progressives live because they cannot vote for progressives. People don't vote for policies, they vote for whoever the Democratic party decides to endorse, which is always the candidate with the least controversial policies.

People who would vote for progressives are instead voting for who the Democratic party tells them to?

It’s progressive until it effects them pretty much sums up the party
