Looks like the B.A.R.T. is going on strike.
Not that I would ever live out in Oakland, but looks like traffic is going to be a real bitch out there.

It's bad enough with the BART, so it's going to be wild. I doubt there's enough parking in SF proper to handle all the cars. I was told last week that there's 700K daily rides on it.

Hmmm
"A typical BART station agent or train operator is paid a salary in the low $60,000 range. According to BART, they also make an average of $11,000 to $16,000 annually in overtime. The value of their benefits, the district estimates, averages an additional $50,000 a year."

true that. one of my classmates in college graduated and got a job in SF (this was in 1999) and bragged about getting $65k. Talked to him a year later, and he had 3 roommates to make ends meet.

I've been to SF twice; my brother and I were eating at some place on Pier 39 and we starting shootin' the breeze with our waiter. he said he lived in a small house about 1200 sq/ft, with 3 other dudes, and his share of the rent was something insane like 2k/month.

I have a customer who works in downtown SF. When I meet with him, I typically drive my rental and park in the same garage. It's about $100 for a two hour visit.
