I’m a Bay Area high school student and schools in this area have tried adopting these late start times. However, they were faced with intense community resistance, with parents pushing against that idea as it interferes with extracurriculars and childcare.
I recently watched a PBS Frontline documentary back from 2002 that discussed this issue, and even then parents were extremely resistant to change.

This is good too. It's a PBS Frontline episode from 2002.
If you look at the part starting at 41 minutes in, you see Larry Flynt functioning as the voice of reason and restraint.
