Rapid Bay Area Supercommuters: a tale of a housing and transportation crisis
A “Supercommuter” is defined as someone who spends 90+ mins in transportation each way to get to/from work.
The rapid growth in Bay Area Supercommuters tells a story of economic prosperity juxtaposed with public transportation ineficiencias and housing affordability collapse.
A recent study by Apartment List highlighted by the local newspaper The Mercury News shows increases in supercommuter population in practically every county across the Bay Area.
Worst of all: Alameda count with +127%, Contra Costa county with +102%, and Santa Clara county with +85%
