why not have them subsidize and improve public transportation?

Don't they do this already with property and state income taxes?

The SFMTA Commuter Shuttle Program is only allowed to recover costs of the program itself, for regulatory reasons.

Locals don't actually want to fix this problem -- ethnic groups are afraid of losing their homes, because historically that's what new housing construction has done.

All of SoMa was built by razing a predominantly black community and replacing it with what is there now. You can go to the SFMOMA and see photos of what it used to look like.

The taxes that states and municipalities are giving them breaks on in order to lure them into the region?
