Good luck with that. Problem is the Valley has been a real estate developer's dream for 60+ years and it has not had the effect this (opinionated but poorly researched) article espouses. Rezoning alone is "dumb planning". Rail, transit, bike friendly streets, greenbelting and farmland preservation all must be in place first in order for density rezoning to work. Problem is Santa Clara County has been all about cars and freeways for as long as they have existed. Just last month they closed the San Thomas Creek bike trail for the convenience of the 49er stadium construction. Now cyclists at the Santa Clara Amtrak station are forced to ride on Tasman which has no bike lanes, Sharrows or shoulders. It's exactly this kind of dumb planning that allowed developers to demolish the downtown that Santa Clara once had and perpetuate the kind of auto-centric sprawl that characterizes Silicon Valley.
