Suburban cities are reluctant to pay for any improvements to transit period. There’s a reason why the BART doesn’t extend past Millbrae. It’s always a combination of rich owners who don’t want “them” having easier access to their cities, and rich owners who have a comfortable driving commute and don’t want money spent on others.
So yes, not technically NIMBYism, but it’s the same “fuck you, I got mine” attitude from existing property owners that blocks a lot of funding for transit.
The source of some of the biggest problems of the nation, not just the Bay Area. We have so many resources but a refusal to share even a little bit makes us all worse off.
