Or people could actually have a point when they think there are other parts of the bay area that are more suited for large scale development. What's ridiculous

Or people could actually have a point when they think there are other parts of the bay area that are more suited for large scale development. What's ridiculous is to have buses running from the most developed area in the region through wast areas of sprawling suburbia and back again day after day. Then make simplistic statement how if you just build more SF will over night become like NY or Paris that had a 100 years to build their infrastructure. I don't know of any city outside China that manage to handle this level of growth by building in established areas, it just doesn't happen.
- mc32 11y agoLots of high growth cities accomplish this, look at singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, India, etc. Not just China, but, no, we want to preserve character while at the same time remain affordable, two opposing forces. And truth be told, change should be the only constant. I understand we have a bit of envy vis a vis Europe, given their thousand plus year histories of cities, but I prefer the more pragmatic eastern philosophical take and action. When you need housing and transit, you promote it and build it.
