Either they work their ass off to buy a $800,000 home in the East Bay core or they spend an extra $200-$300 a year in taxes and have transit brought to where they now live.

It’s not just transit attitudes that are starting to change. The end of cheap oil is going to bring major attitudinal shifts about how we govern our state.
