New housing developments are always a good thing to have, and an extra 7000 residential units would really help Mountain View.
I'm surprised they're doing this though, given the layoffs and budget cuts. I thought they wanted to stop construction of their similar development in San Jose...

It's supposedly on hold in San Jose. Honestly, transit-oriented development is great, and Google doesn't have huge sway in the SJ local government, so hope it goes through.

Haven’t we already tried company towns?

Exactly, this is terrifying to me.

I use to work at Google in that area. Honestly, good to see it's turning into mixed use. North of the 101 was all Google.
