Good luck to her. Although unless you also fix the Bay Area transport infrastructure then building more housing in the suburbs isn't going to solve anything. BART is already at capacity, Buses are constrained by the lack of bus lanes on the major freeway interchanges leading to the bridges. Congestion inside the city is choking things.

So yes we need more housing, but that is merely the first step.

I think that those that are proposing more development would heartily welcome simultaneously expanding the infrastructure.

Those who oppose such infrastructure improvements typically oppose them because they want to stop growth entirely.

Hear, hear!

I would heartily welcome infrastructure improvement programs that brought the state of the SFBA's public transit within shooting distance of the quality of public transit in and around NYC.

I would happily have my personal not-really-that-much-higher-than-Alabama tax burden increased to help pay for such a program.
