TIL people are organizing to stop OAK airport expansion. Their reasons are very convincing:
"Passenger aviation accounts for 11% of SF Bay Area GHG emissions, but represents an even larger share of global warming contribution due to high altitude effects"
"California High Speed rail will service 4 of the 10 top Oakland airport departure destinations. Money allocated for OAK expansion could go towards enhancing Amtrak service and accelerating build-out of HSR"
