This has been going around, but even this plan to build 4400 dwellings is still total nonsense, because the plan also includes office space for 15000 people. 1

This has been going around, but even this plan to build 4400 dwellings is still total nonsense, because the plan also includes office space for 15000 people. 15000 jobs requires much more than 4400 dwellings, so this plan will just make things worse.
I recommend comparing and contrasting with this plan for Coyote Valley, to see what real urbanism looks like. http://www.greenbelt.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Coyote-Valley-Vision-Document.pdf http://www.greenbelt.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Coyote-V...
- djb_hackernews 9y agoThat plan is from 2003. Not familiar with the area, how did it turn out?
- getemback 9y agoIt's on ice. Nobody is building anything in Coyote Valley. But it's a wonderful plan.
- bdamm 9y agoThat is an outstanding plan.

- smalley 9y agoMy current favorite local example of this taken to its ridiculous ends is this one: http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/06/09/internal-affairs-san-jose-v-santa-clara-round-one-goes-to-santa-clara/ http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/06/09/internal-affairs-san-j... . Where San Jose and Santa Clara are going back and forth suing each other about who gets to have the businesses and who has to bear the "burden" of having housing.
