Sf's is largely caused because idiots think that SF needs to keep the charm of a small city and that means no new construction over 4 stories except in very select parts of town. Its so dumb

So what are the excuses Bay Area people make against building a ton of big apartment buildings? It's something entirely selfish I'm sure.

Increased crime, “those people,” neighborhood charm, too much local traffic, too much noise, etc. I live in a NorCal city that has some issues with developing and I’ve attended planning committee meetings.

evilweasel posted:Manhattan is bounded by water on two sides, so it has less ability to expand out and diffuse property prices. There are also a number of industries where it's basically you live in NYC, or you don't work in that industry (or don't work at a high level) at all. And the subway system - which is very good in Manhattan, less good outside Manhattan, and pretty Manhattan-centric where it's good outside Manhattan (basically all lines converge on Manhattan and there are few subway lines that travel between the outer boroughs without crossing through Manhattan first) - means that living in Manhattan is miles more convenient than anywhere else. The complete inability to drive in Manhattan also means that if you want to live outside it, you're limited to places with good transit into Manhattan. And, of course, almost all the main jobs are in Manhattan. I don't think people paying three grand a month to live in Manhattan are living in fat mansions and like I said: I understand and accept that some places cost more to live than others. I just think it's loving crazy to look at the average price of a studio in Manhatten and think, "Yes, $2.5k per month is acceptable."

Stalling and nimbying everything also pumps up their own property values astronomically. They're selfish and shortsighted, but not stupid.

I've always had a huge thing for those conceptual mega structures that house like 100,000 people. I hope we see some of that in our lifetime. Though I expect they'd be an awful idea compared to just new efficiently planned and designed neighborhoods.

KickerOfMice posted:RE: gentrification, I learned recently that here in my transplant hometown (Pittsburgh) The entire Hill District was bulldozed to make space for a bigass parking lot and the hockey team's new arena. Yeah that was one of the black neighborhoods, absolutely houses and little shops. It's been going on for quite a while, there are just craft-beer craving Amazon employees living in gentrified neighborhoods now. Heres a good explainer re parking requirements and how they make urbanism impossible https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/11/20/we-forbid-what-we-value-most

I think a better question is why an industry built on a global communications network feels the insatiable need to cram everyone into a single smallish city on a geologically unstable peninsula.

That's where the people with the skills they need are. The company might be just as happy having their offices in Nebraska or the like, but the employees don't feel like moving there and Nebraska doesn't have the people.

Saw on Facebook some people justifying tax cuts cause it helps small business too! Like maybe all three of them left in the state. You don't have to just go along with everything because it's a republican thing. God just think for yourselves for once.

Squalid posted:I’m not sure toll bridges are a good example of bad Republican policy since they are actually fairly progressive in the sense they disproportionately fall on wealthier people who drive more and farther while being less likely to use public transit. Cleaning up on Virginian commuters certainly isn’t bad fiscal policy. Example A: the $4 toll on I-95 at the Maryland/Delaware border is entirely optional. If you're ok adding 15 minutes to your trip, there are multiple routes around it. Example B: there are exactly three road routes over the Susquehanna river. Two have an $8 toll (with commuter plans that reduce the cost by orders of magnitude). The third option takes you over a two lane road through rural Pennsylvania. If you're driving from Baltimore to anywhere north, going the third option will add 45-60 minutes to your trip each way, assuming the weather is ok and the local roads aren't iced/snowed/flooded out.

Same reason entertainment fled NY in the early 80s and went to LA, then in late 90s and early 00s flooded back. Everyone agrees it's the place to be if you are in tech and so it is, it's got "the juice".

So yeah, total bullshit. Its like counting in 6 year olds for senior benefits.
