Er, so we should make transportation worse so that it will be better?

  Another way to view it would be to temporarily inconvenience a relatively privileged minority in order to benefit the region as a whole.

    Transportation policy in the Bay has been stuck in the mud for decades though, it didn't just happen recently and certainly not because some Google/Apple/Facebook workers started commuting from the city down the peninsula. Look at the Benicia Bridge debacle. Funding was approved by the voters in 1988, the new northbound span didn't open until 2007 and it was $1 billion over budget! I don't think inconveniencing some tech workers is going to have much effect on the politics in the region.
