"The Association of Bay Area Governments' biennial estimates show a region in 2030 with 2 million more people, nearly as many added jobs and three-quarters of a million new households.That's enough homes to build two San Franciscos and more than enough people to triple Contra Costa County's current population...The 2003 projections incorporate smart-growth policies that seek to rectify the region's persistent housing deficit, freeway gridlock and skyrocketing home prices."
