You have correctly outlined the choice. And I choose economically vibrant, walkable, dense, integrated communities of opportunity, with high taxes and a well funded social safety net. I choose to abandon car-centric infrastructure to build greener, healthier, denser communities.

I'm not sure what economically vibrant means but I assume you'd agree that Cupertino is not helping to make any community walkable or dense or integrated, and that they're certainly not abandoning car-centric infrastructure. So... you agree with Tim somewhat???

The new formula for RHNA incorporates job growth as part of this already. Everyone agrees that there needs to be a connection between jobs and housing; it's literally our number one message. But to come out of that on the side of reducing jobs is very... Retiree of him.

Weirdly when I read the piece I did not see it as being about reducing jobs.

What do you think reducing office space means? I would agree that it is weird that you didn't read the piece accurately.

I work in tech and the majority of my interactions with coworkers are over email/chat/etc even if they're right next to me. We don't *need* to all be in the bay area. Reducing jobs *in cities/areas that don't build housing* ≠ reducing jobs

I’m not saying reducing office capacity here is a problem for tech cos. We can just invest elsewhere. I’m saying it’s a structural problem for the cities because they have no way to pay for their massive financial obligations, pensions other than getting prop tax revenue from

Office space. SF would probably have $1B+ deficits, rather than $200M deficits if it were not for the tech boom. http://civilgrandjury.sfgov.org/2016_2017/2016_17_CGJ_Final_Report_The_SF_Retirement_System.pdf …
