The “we can’t possibly build more homes because our infrastructure isn’t perfect” argument is ubiquitous in San Francisco housing debates.
It’s effectively saying “sorry, no home for you until all infrastructure is perfect — go live 100 miles away.”
The argument is also factually baseless:

Does S.F. have the ‘infrastructure’ to support Lurie’s housing plan? Let’s consider
Housing opponents love to say we lack “the infrastructure” to accommodate new neighbors our otherwise inclusive communities. What are they talking about?

Some years ago LA upzoned a single family area next to the Expo/Bundy station. 20 homeowners sold their property at huge profits to developers and now they’re turning into 600 new apartments.
Hopefully we’ll see projects like this all over the state in coming years now that SB79 has legalized them.

Yep, that's it. Definitely nothing to do with streets designed for speed, bloated SUVs/pickups or sprawl that forces people to drive even if they don't want to.

Anyone who has any connection to Los Angeles, please comment on the Draft EIR for the Sepulveda line. Alternative 4 is by far the best for many reasons. Cost per rider and capacity being the most convincing. Say no to the monorail! metro.commentinput.com?id=HNYpSPZkD

Metro ridership was more than 1 million in May 2025 - which was the 30th consecutive month of increased ridership.
As of May 2025 Metro ridership increased (for same month year-to-year) for 30 consecutive months. May 2025 daily weekday boardings were just over 1 million - 1,003,486. (I think that's just the 3rd month 1M+ ridership in COVID era.) Lots of people are riding Metro!

I know this is not as egregious as people getting disappeared by ICE or sent to the hospital by the cops, but it’s worth mentioning that LAPD has essentially stranded hundreds of thousands of Angelenos by banning all Metro lines and busses from going through DTLA.

This was an insane read. So wrong and misguided. Who let this get published?!
Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.
America Needs More Sprawl to Fix Its Housing Crisis
The word has become an epithet for garish, reckless growth — but to fix the housing crisis, the country needs more of it.
