How about instead just build densely on the land that already exists in cities? And not pave over the bay?
- dogsgobork 7y agoGetting residents to agree to higher density developments is a hard political problem, but bulldozing a national wildlife refuge? Easy!
- jupp0r 7y agoBecause that plan has not been working so well.
- romwell 7y agoYeah, but this one surely will real soon now.
- lkbm 7y agoHow's that plan going? Political feasibility is relevant when deciding what to do. It doesn't matter which solution is best. It matters which solution we can actually make happen is best. Personally, I doubt the political feasibility of paving over the bay, but it seems like telling rich people to get over their selves isn't working either.
- drewcon 7y agoThis. Telling that it’s arguably less of a lift to fill in 50 square miles of the bay vs. rewrite zoning with some practical common sense updates.
