San Francisco is definitely getting its fair share of highrises at the moment, but apart from that there doesn't seem to be a need for them anywhere else. However, one thing is for sure, the Bay Area is going to start building up around the BART stations. With the modern mindset of less driving and more walking, BART is exploding in terms of development. Union City, where I currently live, is already the nicest and most progressed station in the East Bay. It really is nice to see the city taking strides to beautify the station and make it more attractive to the riders. Along with the beautification, they already have Union City Avalon apartments, low-income housing apartments, and townhouses in walking distance. Second phase of the development will only bring more residences and commercial space.
It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out!
