In the Bay Area, they merged ABAG with the transport authority last year. It’s like ..how you say..a cartel.

I don’t know what you mean by ‘bring the entire Bay Area into the south bay’? It makes no sense to me.

I see no logic in asking for more and more high density housing developments with NO plans and NO supporting infrastructure. You can’t cram people into a closed and bounded geographical region without providing adequate resources and essential services and infrastructure.

And why should the South Bay bear the burden of supporting the entire inflow? Is it punishment for being successful and productive?

You BUILD infrastructure FIRST and then plan cities around it. That’s common sense.

Yes. South Bay is high density. I believe that. Next?



You have a really skewed perspective if you think that. No point debating further if you're looking at this like someone from a tiny ghost town.


I am looking at for value for money and quality of life. Bay Area is not a ‘tiny ghost town’. It’s crowded and struggling with a serious deficit in imagination wrt city planning. It’s my town. I have a vote and I intend to use it. Please use yours if you want to change the system.


I'm saying you have the perspective of someone who came from a tiny ghost town, since you think the Bay Area is high density.
