So much of this would go away if the city would just loosen its building and zoning regulations.

Why pick on the city? So much of it would go away if the cities in which these companies exist would loosen their zoning regulations. Then we could get rid of the buses.
Which cities would that be? Mountain View? Palo Alto? Menlo Park? Cupertino? South San Francisco? The 100+ other cities in the Bay Area?

If zoning were truly the major obstacle, we would see more building where there is the least amount of zoning.

Yes, all that wasted space in useless Golden Gate Park that could be used for housing!
