It's simpler for me. I'd never want to live there simply because of the access, whether by Bay Bridge (which is almost continuously gridlocked these days) or ferry. I was working there at the time of the quake in 1989 and saw the sand boils and what happened to the building where I worked as well as all the utility pipes buried in the causeway between Yerba Buena and TI (they all broke).

Much of this can be mitigated by engineering but the cost is bound to be huge.
