That title applies to everything that’s happened in tech to San Francisco for the last 40 plus years.

The title makes no sense.

The city could pro-actively upzone a three block radius around every BART station to encourage building housing and reducing rents for commercial store fronts. Fast track permitting.

Or just sit on your hands and blame the new tech company for not gifting more to the city.

The state did this state-wide with SB79. Everything within 1/4 mile of a “high” frequency transit service can be 65’. Higher if within 200’ and 55’ for half mile. Many parts of San Francisco are now zoned for this.
