"The Bay Area has some of the best transit options in the country, "
[citation needed].
It really doesn't. In fact, it notoriously has pretty much the most underdeveloped public transit options of any major city in the US.
(and while folks disagree on #1, i don't think anyone would disagree it's in the top 5 worst)
In DC, i could easily get to work pretty much anywhere in the city in roughly the same time or less i could by driving.
In NY, ditto.
In the bay area, it would probably be 2x the drive time, and a serious pain in the ass (and that's saying a lot, given how bad the drive times are)
