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.
