Irony of ironies, the son (grandson?) of the developer is now complaining about too much traffic in his hometown. "I think developers represent change, and change is difficult," he says. "A lot of people in Menlo Park don't want change, so they don't want development. ... But now here we are — a very wealthy community that has turned its back on development for many, many years." He recognizes that a lot of the anti-development sentiment comes down to a key issue: the fear that developing the city will lead to more traffic. "Like it or not, Menlo Park, like every other city on the Peninsula, is growing," he says. "What was going on here in the 1950s is not going on now — this is a major urban center. ... I don't like the traffic either — every time I go home in the afternoon, I can't stand driving by Hillview School."
