    Driving from San Francisco to Menlo Park is the craziest thing ever. Some of the most expensive real estate in the world, yet mostly empty grassland cows are feeding on.

        Most of the land, ostensibly on your right as you're driving south on 280, is the SF watershed land which has extremely tight restrictions on what happens on it. You finally pass that at Edgewood, you're in Woodside. Chatting with them about upzoning may not be fruitful

        the solution shouldn't be paving over open space, it should be re developing el camino real to support higher density neighborhoods than primarily single family homes

        Check out a map. That land south of SF is mostly watershed protecting the Hetch Hetchy water system. Also it abuts Hillsborough, Woodside and other very wealthy areas along 280 . Good luck spending next 150 years fighting those groups in court to develop housing on "their" land.

        To be fair, that's 280, which is actually reasonably mountainous. I'm willing to spot them the mountains in exchange for a lot of Caltrain-oriented TOD, and some more development along 101. In the flats. Where I can run buses.

        Isn't that basically Stanford's savings account skyrocketing in value over time?

        Agree with sentiment, but Menlo Park is actually principally residential/suburban. If you took 280 You're probably looking at Woodside, Portola Valley, Stanford (dish)

        Aging boomers that moved here in the 1970s and are now desperately trying to protect the past against the future is one reason we don't have enough housing. Until the under 40 crowd has an equal say, expect more protectionist type policies.

        Yeah, it's actually pretty great! We need to preserve this green space while encouraging infill development and manhattanization in peninsula downtown cores. Once we get that, we focus on easier things like drinking fountains that dispense icec ream and beer

        1.2 million acres of protected open space in the Bay Area counties, based on total figures I could find online. It is definitely a contributing factor in local land prices.

        Which is one reason the castigation directed at SF density is so absurd.

        Assuming you drove on I-280, most of that land is directly over the San Andreas fault line. Also, developing this area would lead to more traffic and pollution. It'd be better to increase density in existing developed areas...

        Much of it belongs to the Stanford land trust and I believe has strict prohibitions on selling it or developing it. It wasn't worth nearly as much as when Stanford bought it or protected it.

        Stanford can’t sell the land but it’s allowed to develop it right? That’s how the on campus housing more or less works?

        That's my understanding as well. The Stanford shopping mall is on University land as well. I'm not sure if there are limits what percentages they can develop or not
