The “we can’t possibly build more homes because our infrastructure isn’t perfect” argument is ubiquitous in San Francisco housing debates.
It’s effectively saying “sorry, no home for you until all infrastructure is perfect — go live 100 miles away.”
The argument is also factually baseless:

Without a clear curatorial thesis, the Hammer Museum’s LA artist biennial presents those who have already been vetted by other institutions. Writer Alex Paik would love to see them go a little more “off menu” next time.

Our years spent yelling into the wind at SBCTA about the insanity of this ONT Connector has paid off
Victory! SBCTA is cancelling the ONT Tesla Tunnel project - which would have duplicated BRT with an tunnel for cars - after construction costs escalated to $1-2 B. Time to pivot to electrification and 15 minute service on the San Bernardino line, planning for future multi-use heavy rail to ONT.
