Indeed it looks like there are more and more buildings, dare I say of course housing is a problem, but imho the infrastructure is more an issue, the roads are terrible, completely packed the local tramway is more than 45 years old and it shows, the question become more who want to invest with such poor infrastructures.
- pkaye 8y agoYes infrastructure is a big issue. Many long time residents in my city are complaining about the traffic. Cars are diverting on the local streets to get around the traffic in Fremont for example. Mission blvd between 880 and 680 is under consideration to be made an underpass to reduce red lights but then expectation is it will take 10 years taking into account design, approvals, funding and construction.
- DrScump 8y agoWhat "local tramway" is 45 years old? VTA light rail barely started 30 years ago. And I wouldn't say the trams look worn, primarily because hardly anyone rides them.
- philca 8y agoYou are correct VTA is 30 years old, not really efficient The cost to carry one passenger round trip, $11.74, is 83 percent more than the U.S. average. Speed in San Jose 10mph and an utterly disappointment for the creators. I was thinking more about BART that have a speed of 55mph, and have questionable trains. I really think the infrastructure is an issue, it takes a bit more than a decade to build an exit at the Oakland bridge, roads are packed traffic is getting worst, roads are aged, most concrete (very noisy) not asphalt.
