I've joked that they should make six parallel runways out in the middle of the bay with taxiways to both OAK and SFO.

I wouldn't mind if they modified the current procedure to put, at least, some space between the two parallel arrivals. Maybe put a mile in trail of the other instead of wingtip to wingtip. Still could do less than the distance required by staggered approaches when the weather permits visual separation.
