If the Bay Area spent serious money on good public transportation, we would not have a "housing crisis" like we have today. People prefer the vibrance of SF, and choose to live in SF because getting to/from SF is a pain in the ass. And BART shuts down before midnight. We can build as much housing as we want, but as long as we lack a solid public transportation system, we'll be miserable: more cars on the roads, longer commutes, etc. SF itself has to fix its MUNI; we need a 24-hr BART that is cheap and reliable; a CalTrain that runs very frequently and is 24-hr again; and feeder routes in the smaller cities.
