Yup, those outlying areas are great. But they're getting expensive too - you're looking at $700k plus for a townhouse in Walnut Creek, and homes are over a mill

Yup, those outlying areas are great. But they're getting expensive too - you're looking at $700k plus for a townhouse in Walnut Creek, and homes are over a million. And you're already looking at a 45+ minute commute to the city via BART.
There's simply no affordable place within an hour of the city. That's not just because of bad public transportation - that's because of poor housing policy.
- sologoub 9y agoFor sure - these investments need to be made together, otherwise it won't work. Say we build more housing but it's across the bay. Those bridges and BART can only transport so many people. That said, I do think that transportation investment is lacking and should be increased.
- shados 9y agoLet's build some businesses across there too. So not everyone want/need to all live at the same place, so we don't need everywhere to be NYC.
