It’s not swamp, it’s muddy tidal area. It would be very difficult to build on it, and probably protected by a number of laws and regulations. Plus, it smells.

- quotemstr 8y agoFine: it's a salt marsh. Still, it's a titanic waste of valuable real estate. Building there is just an engineering problem, and it won't smell once it's filled, paved, and turned into buildings.
- rconti 8y agoThat's what they did in Redwood Shores. Likely the tidal land here is owned by Cargill. The park just a half mile to the north (Bedwell Bayfront) is built on a landfill. I'm sure it's been considered.
