Good. Most of the peninsula is currently held in the grip of NIMBYs who hate trains, hate dense housing, and love freeways and environmentally damaging sprawl. Part of the reason SF costs so damn much is because it's so hard to have an urban lifestyle anywhere but those 49 square miles (and Berkeley and Oakland, which I quite like)
There is a reason to hate "trains" when it's fucking Caltrain with at-grade crossings and retarded federal rules about fucking horns all night long. Half the fucking Peninsula is unusable for sleeping as it is.
Perhaps people who are driving could consider not driving around the railroad gate (which was working when the idiot in that article decided to commit suicide).
There are remarkably few good ways out for humans in our society, so this kind of spectacle is often what they end up resorting to.
