The main issue would be how far off the coast the launch and landing platforms would need to be to minimize negative impacts to the local population.
I don't see spaceports appearing in the densely populated areas of Europe or US East Coast or in LA, and definitely not in the Bay Area. You have to build them in remote areas or in international waters, and then you have to pair them with a conventional airport or with high-speed rail.
