This is why we should be building PRT instead. https://staff.washington.edu/jbs/itrans/PRT/
No light rail system in the world operates in the black. They are all subsidized.
Booger saysDeport all the illegal aliens. Easier and cheaper than building new roads and housing.
Even cheaper - mind our own fucking business and stop screwing around in every god damn country on earth to promote "democracy" and or regime change that benefits an extremely small percentage of Americans and their allies.

It's true that we need to go up in altitude to house more people.
Who said we want the latter? And the former which comes with it?
If there’s a place where more people wish to live than there is existing housing, the housing needs to go high density. Don’t like living in dense areas? Don’t!

People want to live in some areas because of the low density.
SunnyvaleCA saysMaybe the solution is for the companies to not continue to grow in the Bay Area. Maybe companies should expand in existing high-density areas that have room for expansion instead of expanding near fully-built-out medium density areas.People want to live in some areas because of the low density.
The good news is that most places in the USA are extremely low density. So pick one that suits you! But locking up all the land near jobs and city center as low density just makes for extreme urban sprawl, extreme horrible traffic, and extremely long commutes for MOST people! Most places are not like LA or the Bay Area. California is its own little madhouse and the Left-leaning NIMBYs have made it that way.
SunnyvaleCA saysProp 13 (with something for everyone to hate!) has an unfortunate consequence that retirees have little incentive to move once they retire. Their tax basis is so low and likely to actually increase massively if they move.
No. They can move once and transfer their previous tax bill to the new house. BUT, they can't do that and downsize. The new house needs to be at least the same value as the previous one.
