My statement was that travel between Santa Rosa and San Jose
is mostly reasonably done bypassing San Francisco.  You've
picked a couple closer-in points; that makes it more reasonable
to go through the city.  The more local the traffic is, the more 
reasonable it is to route it through a dense city.

Between southern Marin county and San Mateo, the most reasonable
route is probably the GG Bridge, then either 19th or the Great
Highway, and onto 280.   I still say it's unreasonable to
encourage such traffic along the panhandle or Lombard and
through the civic center.  It would simply add to what is
already a lot of congestion.
