In the SFBA, the land use issues with suburbs are that most of them are building far more office space than housing and thus the jobs-housing balance is out of whack. A suburb like cupertino, that’s builds office space for 12k workers (the Apple campus), and then received payroll taxes for those 12k workers, needs to accept that they also must build living quarters for and provide social services to those 12k workers, as opposed to the status quo, where they floist the responsibility and costs onto neighboring communities while hoarding the benefits (taxes from large commercial spaces).
