>>1377275Because the Bay Area was split into seven separate counties instead of one giant county like LA. As a result all the suburban homeowners in the western half of the city have immense amounts of power like their peers do in the other six counties. Santa Clara County (San Jose) is the only one with enough urban development to successfully fight them. Alameda County has development but they lack vision for their city at the moment, whereas SF's city government pretty openly do not give any fucks.
>>1377329Probably never considering how fucking useless SFMTA/CTA is at the moment. But the rest of the SN route, 680 rail, and the Dumbarton rail bridge will all be rebuilt. The only silver lining is that while SF screws up everyone else slots their own transit projects into place, gradually causing San Jose to become the center of the region.
