The conception of BART was deeply rooted in 1950s planning that prioritized office space over blue-collar industries, leading to economic and social disregard for a diverse economy.
BART was not just about transit; it was a pivotal component of a growth strategy that served the interests of a select few developers while sacrificing the broader economic landscape.
The reliance on a monocrop economy has led to significant structural vulnerabilities, as the economic model that has sustained San Francisco for decades is now failing.
The failure to foresee the impact of remote work and technology’s evolution has left San Francisco’s urban planning and transit systems at a critical impasse.
