"We"who? If it was a financially good idea, developers would be or are doing it. How about run some realistic rates of return and market analysis? You may also find the biggest reason: it's unworkable because of current San Francisco culture.

- rthomas6 9y agoSomething can be a good idea and unworkable due to political and regulatory hurdles. Just look at broadband access. Or medical records. Two industries that would benefit greatly from some disruption, but we're not seeing much there because of how hard it is for other than market reasons.
