THE BAY AREA, ITS PROSPECTS AMD ITS PROBLEMS - 7 - It is easy to be proud of the San Francisco of today or the San Francisco of yesterday. Let's make sure that we can be proud of the San Francisco of tomorrow, for San Francisco has its problems, many of which are inevitably linked with the problems of the Bay Area as a whole. Therefore, it is appropriate to examine the problems that must be solved if we are to assure ourselves of a bright future. Bay Area prosperity is ours for the taking. We have in hand the tools to get the job done. All that we are required to do is to come forward with a timely and intelligent solution for the problems that face us, problems for the most part that are a by-product of the rapid rate of growth that we have experienced. The principal problems facing us must be solved primarily through agencies of the local government, for it is local government that has the primary responsibility for furnishing the community facilities and services that accomodate and make possible the continued expansion of population and business. These problems basically fall into two categories. First, the local problems that face the individual community. Second, the area-wide problems that cannot be solved by any single community.
