@paulg @sama there's room for a lot more density in the SF area w/ a lot more housing. Requires more public transit investment, probably

@paulg @sama the fundamental problem is politics.

@paulg @sama better public transit would shrink the effective distance. The issue is commute time, not distance. Look at LIRR

@paulg @sama Disagreed: it's decades of NIMBY'ism and preciousness over views and "preservation" (which caused the Oakland Hills fires).

@paulg @sama I hate what's happening now, but it's rlly the first time in my 20yrs of living here, that folks r finally snapping out of it.

@paulg @sama My landlord ws sued fr our new back porch exceeding the prior's footprint by 18". My nghbr sued, citing his view bng destroyed.
