One, I don&#x27;t think asking for some modest thought and compassion in the face of glib, facile plans is the exact problem SF has. But thanks for sharing your feelings so dramatically; I hope it was cathartic for you.<p>And two, I think things are working out reasonably well for SF. The US has a history of absolutely terrible attempts at grand redevelopment. Read up on our &quot;urban renewal&quot; waves, for example. San Francisco has mostly avoided or repaired that sort of urban planning idiocy, and I think it would be monumentally dumb to let another bubble lead to big &quot;solutions&quot; to problems that are transitory.<p>If you and others would like to indulge that third-world dictator tendency to dramatic urban planning, might I suggest finding someplace else in the Bay Area? San Francisco is less than 1% of the land; there&#x27;s no particular reason to do it here. Or, better, show us how it&#x27;s done in, say, Texas, which has plenty of space to develop that nobody is currently occupying.
