San Francisco city planners made an idiotic decision about 50 years ago to push housing out of downtown, replace it with office buildings, and build gigantic freeways to bring people in from their new suburban homes. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. Many, many people fought hard against this stupid decision at the time, and city planners should have listened. Hopefully, somebody learns a lesson here, and we don’t have to repeat this same cycle another 50 years from now.
