      Weird how a VC doesn’t understand that making investments today to have a second Transbay mass transit crossing could unlock an order of magnitude more value for households and employers regionally. Imagine if we hadn’t built BART or Caltrain or if NYC hadn’t built the subway.https://twitter.com/lpolovets/status/1137808312605466624 …

      This sounds like *such* a bad idea. Bay Area govts want to raise $100b over several decades. That's about $35k/household. And then the government would deploy that cash. What can go wrong? https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/06/08/mega-measure-100-billion-traffic-busting-tax-plan-for-the-bay-area-taking-shape/ …

      1) Why's VC relevant? I have no faith in govt. That's based on observation, not my career. 2) The commutes are long b/c people have to live far from work b/c of housing. Addressing commutes is like breaking someone's heater, then offering warmer clothes instead of fixing heater.

      Transit policy is also affordable housing policy. Building high-throughout or more efficient forms of transit unlocks availiability of land (or potential density of land), which affects land costs per unit and what ultimately pencils in terms of total housing + transpo costs.

      Transit policy is important. But imho affordable housing should be the priority here. To use the heater analogy above, if the options are "buy 20 sweaters for $1k, or fix heater for $200 and buy 2 sweaters for $100 for esp cold days," then I'd focus on fixing heater (housing).

      This is going all in -- at a HUGE cost -- on fixing the side effects of bad housing policy. But maybe lessening housing restrictions would mean we need to spend $20b over 20 years on better transportation instead of $100b. So why not start on the underlying cause?

      It’s not an either-or, both work together. If we had a more efficient transit system, we could sustain higher density housing w/out gridlocking the system. Part of the reason the most expensive parts of the Bay Area are resistant is bc they don’t have the transit infrastructure.

      Santa Clara County didn’t bail out of BART in the 1960s; San Mateo County did. If we had a seamless mass transit ring like was originally planned, we might not have tech shuttles, etc. as Bandaids.

          I have been talking about transit loops for BART for ages. I have been suggesting expanding Bart to San Jose on both sides of the bay. I strongly believe it’s more important then a second transbay tube. Followed by a connector that flows from Hayward to San Mateo.

          Engaging transit up and down the South Bay would do wonders for housing and the economy. If only BART can out to Livermore then up to Brentwood to connect to Antioch. those would be amazing improvements.

          Also that was back in 1960. Imagine if there was a bullet train like they have in Tokyo that went around the bay and extended to places like Pleasanton. Idk if that is feasible, but that would make housing more affordable.
