Kilroy Oyster Point is a pretty inaccessible area from San Francisco, you would need to take a limited train via Caltrain that's around 40 minutes to get there. I'm pretty sure this is definitely a blowback from the gross receipts tax and nothing more, even for commuters from the Peninsula would still have to get to the really strange south SF station which is also only accessible via limited express...or commute into one the worst traffic corridors in the Bay Area.
- benatkin 7y agoIt's right on the freeway, and there's a ferry. I think it's probably about as good as where the AirBnb and GitHub offices are, which are half a mile from BART. I think a lot of their employees are going to be driving in at times that avoid rush hour.
- dmode 7y agoAirbnb office is in SF proper and walkable to Caltrain and BART. South Sf is not remotely comparable.
- baby 7y agoWat. Airbnb is super well located in soma. Unless Stripe has shuttles it’s going to be rough.
- daseiner1 7y agoStripe will definitely have at least limited shuttles from public transit.
- gyc 7y agoI assume they'll also run commuter shuttles like Genetech.
- novok 7y agoYeah I'm wondering why not san bruno, which has fairly accessible caltrain and bart stations in close vicinity of each other, and youtube is there which makes it a more attractive location commute wise.
- jwagenet 7y agoSouth SF only get one train an hour, yes, but it only takes an on schedule train 15 minutes station to station.
