Traffic is a big problem -- as is parking. Public transit investments do have to correspond with building housing, but too often the lack of one is used as an excuse not to expand the other. We have to start somewhere.
As I said in the post, public transit deserves it own analysis -- I was already in the thousands of words just on housing! -- maybe that will be next.

The need must already exist and be bad enough to get people to vote for taxes to pay for improvements. Muni will not be extending T to Fisherman's Wharf, nor BART building a 2nd trans-bay tube and line through the Richmond/19th Ave unless the bay area can manage this housing problem and bring in more residents to pay for it.
