The plan presses 70-80 percent of all new housing and 66 percent of all business expansion into 150 or so ‘priority development areas’ (PDAs), select neighborhoods near subway stations and other public transportation facilities. This scheme will turn up to a quarter of the region’s existing neighborhoods–many now dotted with San Francisco’s famously picturesque, Victorian-style single-family homes–into mini-Manhattans jammed with high-rises and tiny apartments.”
