I tend to agree with this, and its nice hearing it from someone in a position of authority, but it is a minority view unfortunately. San Francisco has been poisoned by the &quot;low hanging fruit&quot; which is a series of &quot;manageable&quot; projects which are going to improve things but which turn out much more expensive and much less effective than the &quot;big thinking&quot; alternatives. And yes, I know it is easy to get tricked into comparing the projected cost of project A with the actual cost of project B (as project A would have had overrurns etc) but you can double or triple the proposed cost of some of the larger projects and not come close to the actual cost of some of the &quot;simpler&quot; projects.<p>It isn&#x27;t about cost, it is about willingness to embrace change and move forward.
