i liked the blog post that went with the map, but sadly, the blog seems to be gone.

i support infill, urban extensions and stations more than suburban extensions, though some suburban areas have high usage and density to support it and in those cases, such expansion is okay.

i also like the idea that the Central Subway will tunnel out in North Beach. this is a high density area separated from our rail transit in SF. that should be addressed at some point.
