Quoted in SFgate again!
Posted in writing on September 19th, 2007 by MarkBallewThis time I’m quoted at the top of the page!
READERS’ PLATFORM: Transbay Terminal
The Transbay Terminal is a symbol to the world of what San Francisco was – a city with transit at heart where a working-class person could get to work on a train or a bus in a safe and timely manner. What we are telling the world now is, go get in your car, pay too much for gas and insurance, but don’t take a bus or a train – that’s for incontinent bums. We gave up on the Transbay center when we lifted the rails decades ago and submitted to car hegemony. A new Transbay transit center is likely to be more of the same. Shiny and new for a few years, then urine-soaked after budget cuts and parking garages. Who is going to pay a whopping $260 per square foot for office space with no parking in this city anyway?
