The SF Bay Area was designed like LA... to require burning as much fossil-fuel as possible by spreading residential and commercial areas out far from each other, making walking impractical. Heck, even local trams and bus systems were destroyed by General Motors.[0] I remember seeing the remnants of a defunct local tram platform about ½ mile / 1 km west of Gunderson High School in San Jose across the way from where the first Light Rail line was installed.
