The protests over gentrification that turned into brick-throwing were in Oakland. I can't imagine they'd prefer more people living there because of a short commute.
- melling 13y agoWell, is there anywhere on the map that is suitable? http://www.bart.gov/stations http://www.bart.gov/stations
- smtddr 13y agoLike I said[1] in another comment here, I think a big source of the problem is that BART doesn't reach enough spots. We need more spots on that map. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7028107 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7028107
- melling 13y agoSure but that'll take a decade, if not two. It takes forever to build these types of systems in America, especially California.
- tomkarlo 13y agoNot for the protesters. The complaint is that tech workers are driving up rents and housing prices in SF, not that they're causing traffic. (As I understand it.) If there was an office anywhere on Bart, people would even more likely to live in SF and Oakland.
