Those of us who have spent any time on Treasure Island (I worked there for 7 years), have trouble agreeing with any of that. People who romanticize TI have mostly spent little time there.
The place is cold, windy and an access nightmare. Unless some way is created to get to and from the island by rapid transit and/or car that is independent of Bay Bridge traffic (even a 24 hour ferry isn't good enough), I personally would never want to live there and I have trouble imagining others would and certainly that they would pay a premium to do so.
