While I&#x27;d love to live in a city with an effective government and great mass transit, I just don&#x27;t have faith in SF city government specifically or in most local governments generally being able to accomplish the largest scale civil works projects successfully.<p>While some kind of big master plan would, if executed well, produce a better result, I&#x27;d prefer to stick to smaller projects with reasonable deliverables which actually happen, and then hack together a less effective than ideal, but still better, end result.<p>Arguing like this for all-or-nothing is a great way to get nothing, which makes me sad because SFBA transit is such shit today.
