Prop 13 has many, many pernicious effects but it doesn't drive NIMBYism. The pernicious effects are a slowdown in the velocity of the housing market (keeping your low taxes) and pushing local governments to very strongly prefer commercial over residential development. Every new house is a net loss to local government on a long term budget basis.
One of Prop 13s benefits from a planning perspectives is that your property taxes are isolated from the decisions of your neighbors. So if adjacent properties turn into condos or commercial, you won't see your taxes rocket, so you have less of an incentive to oppose development.
CEQA and the California Coastal Commission are weapons that NIMBYs use, but what drives NIMBYs in CA is the same as everywhere else. The hippy/champagne communists of SF just make it stronger (damn those evil developers making a profit! boo hiss!!!!) and elect malevolent local politicians, but it's the same drivers as anywhere else.
