"SF is a vibrant, innovative, creative population subsisting on the surface of a government that is firmly hanging onto antiquated notions of the 19th century, not even the 20th, and this conflict has reached epic proportions of ridiculousness."
Extremely unfortunate but true. SF is one of the few cities that has the unique opportunity of creating a super-city, the technological world capital. How do they respond? By doing nothing. They could expand the reach of public transportation and develop on the outter rims of the city. They could AT LEAST make it easier to go downtown from less-expensive SF districts like the sunset and richmond.
They would rather basque in their position as a second-rate metropolitan area, one step below the likes of NY and Boston.
