The "google" bus and the "apple bus" have stops blocks away, and you are within a 15 minute walk of the financial district. I think this corner has viable transit. Could it stand to be improved? Are some other parts of the city underserved? Sure. But that wasn't my point.

I agree with you. Yes in many parts of the city transit needs to be added outright, or improved, before people with the means choose not to own/park a car. But this is not one of those parts, LoL. I'm happy it will be completely underground and hidden (NEMA is also offering 1 spot per unit, and the Trinity Garage will end up being around that same ratio, maybe a little less).
However, it's promising to know just about every other development planned around there includes no or very limited parking. And there are lots of proposals and plans for mid-rises and adaptive re-use/rehabs into multifamily. Not to mention the new projects nearby in the TL are virtually carless. I think generally SF is going in right direction on the private sector, it's just time for the agencies to step up improvements/expansions on the public side.
