> This bypasses the intentional sabotage that’s been applied to bay area public transit
I lived there for a long while and I'm genuinely wondering what this is? I feel like there were at least some unintentional secondary effects of certain policies but can't think of anything recent and intentional.
I remember when I lived in Livermore, and there were residents fighting against a BART extension to the city, because they didn’t want “more of those people” around. Likely a similar mentality.
