I'm not a city planner so I don't know anything but what I see, and what I see is infrastructure at capacity -- gridlocked streets, BART completely full at commute times, etc
- timerol 7y agoAllowing people to live near where they work takes stress off of the infrastructure, not the other way around Edit: I made an incorrect comment on permitting for a minute because I was looking at the area, not just SF county.
- JumpCrisscross 7y ago> what I see is infrastructure at capacity This is a function of the infrastructure that's been built, not anything fundamental to San Francisco. Building more transit capacity, reducing incentives for city dwellers to own and take cars, et cetera would alleviate these problems the same way they have in much-denser cities around the world.
