Excellent essay as usual, Darrell. I am eager to hear your perspective on what freeways should be removed immediately with federal funding. I've looked briefly at plans to remove I-980 in Oakland, which paired with a second alignment of the Transbay tube plus connected AC Transit, urban green space, and dense/affordable housing seems like a good first candidate. From an urban air quality perspective, I would like to see I-880 buried like in Boston with the bus lanes you describe, especially where it divides Jack London Square from Downtown and Laney College from Brooklyn Basin.
