I would love for it to be easier to densify, too, but when you have people in Berkeley and Palo Alto flipping out over eight-story buildings adjacent to major transit stops, it's awfully hard. Of course, this ruling removes one of the major impediments to densification in areas that have been zoned for it, so maybe we'll see a few more transit villages being built around BART and Caltrain stops.

This is the problem with density. It causes congestion in part because we don't sufficient mass transit.

Of course there is the flip side...........which a professor of mine pointed out............there are cities without lots of street traffic and congestion. And those cities tend to be economic disasters.
