The solution won't come from the region (i.e., more Bart station apartments in Dublin will not solve The SF problem). Now Oakland...that's a different story since the Bart ride between the two downtowns is a mere 12 mins or so. Now if only Oakland can solve its historic racism and negative perception problems and, therefore, get projects funded by the banks [pause for bankers' cough]. Not to get (more) political...but prop 13 makes all that NIMYBYism possible (and economically feasible when they sue to hold up projects). Oh and it encourages people to keep their homes even when they don't live there and rent them out because rents are rising faster than the property taxes. Just saying
