[QUOTE] Hahaha! I also read about angry locals threatening the buses that truck in employees to Twitter etc. from out of town and block the bus lanes...though that still doesn't excuse the city's failure to have a real subway or dedicated bus lanes like Portland! [/QUOTE] Protesting the buses gets visibility, but it has a tendency to distort the heart of the story, which is the fact that pricing of pretty much everything in SF is inflated beyond belief. That a stupid amount of money is flowing into the Bay Area is a fact, and that a lot of that money is flowing into a few particular sectors/industries is a fact as well. SF the city was never designed to handle the load it is under. The streets have weird and crazy intersection controls, trying to park is a nightmare, public transit is okay in places but the cost of expanding it or widening roads or anything like that is prohibitive. There are definitely a ton of smart and creative people working in those fields, but I have no idea how anybody could afford the Bohemian lifestyle in SF without being independently wealthy beforehand. Did I mention the nearly 40% net income tax? Whee!
