Notable also that a few places have chosen to evolve. Redwood City in particular has allowed the transformation of it's downtown. From "old and rundown" to much higher density with work and living density that actually feed an entertainment ecosystem around their transit station. Sunnyvale also. Arguably they started a little late (in jeopardy from everyone switching to internet entertainment and shopping) but it's there. In both cases, that has not turned these places into hellholes. On the contrary, it made the single family homes around the centers even more desirable.
