Point. Although I'd assume the majority of subway routes tend to be built under roads (also bad, but less terrible)?
Not sure what the geology of San Francisco / California tends to be like, but I believe most of the Manhattan skyscrapers are anchored down to the bedrock. Which I'd expect would require cutting and reinforcing vs just "drill on through".
