- mc32 7y agoI'm saying don't force people to change the char of their neighborhoods. If it's dense now, don't try to make it into single-family-homes. If it's single-family-homes, don't try to turn it into multi-family-housing units.
- rhizome 7y agoYou should be able to build up to, let's say 8-10 stories, within 2-4 blocks of every BART station.
- mc32 7y agoI'd say that's mostly reasonable, with some exceptions. Some BaRT stations are hemmed in in tight places and it would make things horrible. But overall, generally for a plurality of stations 6-10 in the city, 4-8 in the 'burbs.
- bradleyjg 7y agoWho is forcing whom?If you want to control the neighborhood, buy it. Otherwise the state of California is the sovereign entity and all the citizens therein get a vote.
- mc32 7y agoPeople only say that when things go their way, otherwise the claim all kinds of things. Tyranny of majority or it was the boomers' fault, or homeowners interests, among other things.
- qtplatypus 7y agoIf you want to have more people in the same area then the density has to increase somewhere. You can’t increase the number of households without somewhere becoming more dense then it was.
