Not sure why this is downvoted. People move farther as it becomes easier to commute.

Hence the suburban movement in the last 50 years or so.

Here in the bay area, real estate in the farther areas of east bay (e.g., Livermore) have been in high demand as there has been talks of Bart expansion to Livermore.

A solution is that is so much cheaper than building wider roads is just to allow easier upzoning and higher density buildings. San Francisco's housing problems are all self-imposed.
