> If we make it easier to quickly travel longer distances in/out of work hubs, the intense demand for housing can be diffused to communities that can handle it.

Wow, just wow. Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Cupertino et al can all "handle it" they just don't want to. There is plenty of space for transit oriented housing and office space along the cal-train corridor. If Cupertino can "handle" an office space for 14k workers, they can "handle" building housing for 14k workers too.

There is absolutely no reason the peninsula and south bay should remain majority single family home cities, especially wiht the crazy jobs/housing imbalance they have willingly created for themselves.
