I don't believe communities in SV would sign onto this.
One important reason is the lack of core infrastructure like a centrally planned transit system. The thing to remember about the bay area is that it's not one city like NYC. It's a number of smaller cities and counties each with their own local governments, rules and constituencies. See San Mateo and other counties opting out of BART. Another example are various communities with maximum density regulations.
This is the kind of thing where you need a strong central hand to force these issues if you want your community to scale, but it's not clear that any local community would cede that power.
