Yes, but you're just saying the same thing as the parent, which is that this is a question of values. It's not a natural disaster. It's the expected result of deliberate policy. On the one hand you have more access for more people to one of the most important and dynamic urban areas in the United States. On the other you have the "distinctive nature of the SFBay area" and redwood trees. I think it's pretty obvious that the first is more important than the latter, but it's fair of you to want to make that tradeoff explicit.
