Thanks for posting this explanation. Bolinas is also pretty infamous as the only town in California that Caltrans can't post a sign pointing too. It does hit on the fundamental Bay Area issue that almost all water is imported, and there are significant restrictions on development because of that. Almost all of the land surrounding the populated bay is part of a public & ngo "green belt". In the Bay Area, there really is not just some new amazing new places to build. We must build up.
