And so now, there is no more bayfront housing like Redwood Shores or Foster City. "Every swamp is sacred." And literally hundreds of thousands of commuters make hundred mile round trip commutes into Bay jobs from as far away as Stockton and Modesto, burning how much extra fuel and spewing how much extra pollution, and paving over acre after acre of first Santa Clara Valley, now San Joaquin Valley, farm and rangeland, displacing how many critters. This is environmentalism? Really?
