Why did taxes go up? That seems to be separate from the issue of construction causing an inconvenience, but is apparently a decisive factor.
FWIW the Civic Center area of SF used to be the theater district before BART was built through there in an extremely invasive cut and cover way, which led to theaters shuttering and being replaced by ... seedier operations.[0]

- zdragnar 3y agoThe taxes were based on land valuation. This was already a relatively low income part of town, and having direct access to the light rail was seen as a value add. It was likely also a secondary effect of the new luxury style apartments that were built. I lived relatively close to it for a few years (all before the rail was put in and during construction), but definitely wouldn't live there again.
