As an expat from London - Jesus Christ, what a fucking bleak situation. To be clear, I'm not disagreeing, I think you're probably correct - the best way to get people out and spending their tech salaries in SF's service industries is to give them a fast, cheap, convenient way to get directly from their door to the bar/restaurant/club without having to set foot on the street or (heaven forbid!) public transit - but God, what an staggering failure of public policy that this is the case.
