Haven’t we already tried company towns?

Exactly, this is terrifying to me.

New housing developments are always a good thing to have, and an extra 7000 residential units would really help Mountain View.

I'm surprised they're doing this though, given the layoffs and budget cuts. I thought they wanted to stop construction of their similar development in San Jose...

It's supposedly on hold in San Jose. Honestly, transit-oriented development is great, and Google doesn't have huge sway in the SJ local government, so hope it goes through.

I use to work at Google in that area. Honestly, good to see it's turning into mixed use. North of the 101 was all Google.
