The most insane part is that the drive between SF and Palo Alto/MountainView on the MAIN highway (101) is surrounded by miles of uninhabited land. Especially just north of Redwood city.
I have no idea why this is the case. Are they keeping prices astronomically high to preserve marsh fauna?
- svachalek 12y agoYes. The SF Bay used to be surrounded by marshland but huge parts of it got landfilled and paved over. Turns out that leads to big problems with flooding etc. so most of the few wetlands that are left are now protected areas.
