Paving over San Joaquin County with detached single family homes on quarter-acre lots will never fix our housing problems and certainly runs against our climate

Paving over San Joaquin County with detached single family homes on quarter-acre lots will never fix our housing problems and certainly runs against our climate change goals. We have to build walkable neighborhoods a sensible distance from job centers, along existing transit corridors.

People are going to have to agree on a sub-optimal but better plan otherwise the status quo will continue to win. Keep in mind that the NIMBY powers that be are a lot stronger, and as the house prices go up, every new home owner becomes more and more disinclined to support new housing in the SF Bay Area. The ONLY chance for lower house prices is better, more efficient public transportation and moving people further away from their jobs.
