What I don't understand about the bay area is why they don't just dedicate an area away from these NIMBY neighborhoods- say north of 101, between San Carlos and Santa Clara and let them build lots of skyscrapers with lots of housing and roads to help 101 divert some traffic. I see tall office buildings there so its def not earthquake or environmental. Affordable housing and urban lifestyle for the young and SFH and space for the family folks in Atherton.

I suggest you try to pretend to build a house, condo or office building to see what happens.

Just go through the motions, talk to builders and try to get permits.

Then you will understand.
