My experience with MTC, working with them (not for them) for over 15 years, doesn't support that statement. There are more rational explanations for why things happen the way they do, and MTC does have to follow federal rules when allocating funding. You're welcome to your conspiracy theories, though, if they make you happy.
BTW, the Bay Area is the only place in CA where the regional housing and transportation planning functions was separated into 2 agencies. There are historical reasons for that. But the merger was going to happen eventually; it was mainly a question of when and how.
