>As for transport, cars are already pretty unfeasable in SF with the population as is. Whats so bad about investing more in public transit and biking? Simple: Americans hate public transit and biking, and want to stick with cars no matter how infeasible it is. They'd rather commute two hours, each way, in gridlocked traffic than get on a train. And they don't mind becoming fat because of this lifestyle. >As for crime and traffic, most larger cities in Europe are much cleaner and safer than SF. That's true, but I will point out that because of Europe's use of diesel, most European cities reek of diesel fumes, and this is bad for public health there.
