At some point the bay area will have to become a 1 giant city, instead of a bunch of little nimbism towns. Soon, we'll all live in Bay City!

- afinlayson 7y agoThat's fascinating, Maybe there can be a megacity that spans multiple cities or something like that. Oakland and SF makes less sense than SF and SJ imo, because there's no space between them. At least Oakland has the bay.
