As much as I love living in the Bay Area, we really can't get out of our own way when it comes to anything relating to construction. Wifey is an architect and has plenty of horror stories to tell about how it's virtually impossible to get anything built -- even something as simple as an addition to a house, let alone the large buildings she designs.

Thing is, with the new FMS 28R approach, the number of RAs has decreased dramatically. The change has been really apparent to anyone who has operated into SFO both before and after that change. I really think this was a sharp overreaction on the part of the FAA.
