Put additional limits on Bay Area development

In the article about the YIMBY movement (Page 1A, Nov. 13), not a word was written about transportation and traffic. The people behind this organization simply don’t understand the frustration of those of us who want to retain some limits on development.

I invite the YIMBYs to take a drive from San Mateo across the San Mateo Bridge and on to Pleasanton any day of the work week from about 2 p.m. onward. Or maybe they would like to try Interstate 880 south toward Fremont. How about the drive from Palo Alto south to Los Gatos? Highway 101 is like a parking lot in both directions along the Peninsula, and yet they support building more housing.

The current situation is not sustainable. It’s past time for companies like Google, Facebook and others to consider expanding to other parts of the United States. — Eryl Aynsley, Belmont
