I don't see a problem with the 1+5 style. I think the street level retail is important for making the area seem lively especially if they are built near the caltrain station "downtowns" like Palo Alto, Mountain View or Sunnyv

I think just having more people makes the area more lively. Less people will basically turn it into suburbs. Also higher density means public transportation can be better utilized and reduce the need for cars. I saw this at Arlington and No

Sure, random drone people are a problem but in this case, I don't see why the airport themselves cannot hire trained professional drone operators. Drones opperated by the firefighters themselves might prove to be useful.
