But a big piece of it is sf getting fucked by the nimbyism elsewhere.
viz Mountain View: they just authorized something like 3.4 million ft2 of office space between LinkedIn, Google, etc while supposedly they're giong to add 1.5k to 5k housing units. In the future. Where are the other, say, 15 to 20 thousand people going to live? Mountain View doesn't give a shit, but a bunch of them are going to have to life in sf, because that's where there's housing.
- eli_gottlieb 11y agoHow about just having the state use eminent domain to seize half of Atherton, hook it back up to CalTrain, and build dense urban housing there, with easy commuting to Mountain View and Redwood City? I jest... partially. Atherton is horrible for the whole area.
- nemo44x 11y agoHonestly, that would be a great place to start. Build lots of streets with high rises with light rail and commercial and residential stacked. With a location near Palo Alto/Stanford and the region I would bet it becomes unbelievably high in demand. Obviously this could never happen there!
