Austin and Toronto are 250 square miles. Every time I go back to Austin, everyone is whining about how expensive it is and how bad the music scene has gotten, while half of them want to turn 6th Street into a kid friendly zone.
SF is maybe 35 square miles, once you take out the parks.
Why don't we build new housing in Palo Alto? Or better yet, rezone Stanford or Atherton?
I guess affluent monocultures must be protected.

- beatpanda 12y agoYou can't get housing built in SF, Palo Alto or Atherton for the exact same reason. Using one as a reason to oppose housing in the other is a red herring.
