In general, one would think the "fuck you, I got mine" attitude would be more consistent with US conservative leanings, based on their other economic policies like "trickle down" and opposing tax hikes on the rich and corporations.

It's not a FYGM thing. It springs from a belief that personal property rights should trump government public policy objectives. Accordingly, strong development and property rights are baked into it. Red states don't impose as many controls on development because their governments generally don't think it's appropriate to tell property owners what they can or cannot do with their property. Same with raising taxes, or with spending public funds on public goods.

By contrast, more left-leaning areas have a more communitarian public policy inclination. This means paying for public goods and raising taxes to cover the costs. Similarly, they believe property controls should reflect community expectations. The property rights of owners are less important than the community rights of neighbors.

There's no jurisdiction with complete ideological consistency, since people's values don't have to hew to any specific ideology at the ballot box. It's why NY is handling things much better than SF, for instance, even though they're both pretty liberal cities. SF allowed the communitarian impulse to grow out of control, since we have a consensus-based decision making process. Like all consensus-based decision making processes, it's primary effect is to prohibit decisions and favor incumbent policy. So "community" concerns kill everything and a single lunatic neighbor can harass a business for decades or tie up a project with red tape. Endless meetings and approvals and appeals.

It also shouldn't surprise anyone that Ed Jew went to prison for shaking down boba shops. What was his leverage? The city's notoriously byzantine and unfair permit process, which primarily exists to collect patrons a la pre-Caesar Rome. Jew simply made the mistake of asking for cash instead of asking for a favor. Everyone knows cash is worthless to a politician anyway.
