While the urban core gentrifies, the Bay Area’s inner suburban ring gerontrifies as family-sized housing becomes inaccessible to families with school-age children.https://twitter.com/weel/status/945868251526868992 …

A worrying trend as suburbs are not great for the elderly, who I think do much better in cities, with easy access to transit, walkable stores, etc.

It's interesting. The very elderly in the tiny village in Tuscany I stayed in did fine. The community took care of them, there was a store, a bus into town. But suburbs? They are just bad for everyone, but esp the young and the old.

In a way, sure - parking, room for everyone, etc. But kids too often dependent on parents for transportation, there's nothing to do, etc.

Yeah. Ideal is we take transit accessible suburban flatlands in non-sea level rise, non-liquefaction areas up. But they are very organized.

And move more jobs there - which also requires solid internet infrastructure. Build co-working spaces in suburban strip malls.

The jobs are already there. The jobs-housing imbalance is worse there than it is in SF.
