Re the uses for old BART cars, I suggest finding a way to create housing for the homeless. I have seen shipping containers used to create housing. Why not the old BART cars?

I agree with others that have suggested using them for housing---in Oakland during the depression there existed a Pipe City where homeless could stay in an organized setting with rules and appropriate behavior managed by a straw boss. That could happen today--maybe central restrooms and use cars for sleeping.

Housing for homeless priority for San Francisco and Oakland.
