That's the fault of lack of public transport investment, but you will never get that investment if you don't increase density. If you bring the entire Bay Area into the South Bay, people's commute distances will be shorter. You then build much better public transport and the traffic will be alleviated.
"High to medium density". Absolute nonsense. Have you seen the South Bay? What looks high density to you?
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoIn the Bay Area, they merged ABAG with the transport authority last year. It’s like ..how you say..a cartel. I don’t know what you mean by ‘bring the entire Bay Area into the south bay’? It makes no sense to me. I see no logic in asking for more and more high density housing developments with NO plans and NO supporting infrastructure. You can’t cram people into a closed and bounded geographical region without providing adequate resources and essential services and infrastructure. And why should the South Bay bear the burden of supporting the entire inflow? Is it punishment for being successful and productive? You BUILD infrastructure FIRST and then plan cities around it. That’s common sense. Yes. South Bay is high density. I believe that. Next?
- pertymcpert 7y agoYou have a really skewed perspective if you think that. No point debating further if you're looking at this like someone from a tiny ghost town.
- jelliclesfarm 7y agoI am looking at for value for money and quality of life. Bay Area is not a ‘tiny ghost town’. It’s crowded and struggling with a serious deficit in imagination wrt city planning. It’s my town. I have a vote and I intend to use it. Please use yours if you want to change the system.
- pertymcpert 7y agoI'm saying you have the perspective of someone who came from a tiny ghost town, since you think the Bay Area is high density.
