+ VTA light rail

+ BART in 2026

too bad the SJC airport runway axis runs straight across downtown. They could otherwise go much much higher/denser in the urban core.

Capitol Corridor really could use an investment from the state (instead of HSR boondoogle). Huge chunk of the north-bay could be shifted to proper public transit connections to SF/East Bay economic centers.

You can get plenty of density without going over 200 feet high. Just look at most European cities.


lived there (major European city). No, thanks


What did you dislike?


Makes it easy for people to commute in on light aircraft!

I'm only half joking. The San Carlos airport several miles north has daily commuters who fly in for Redwood Shores offices/Oracle.


PAO is also quite busy in the morning for Googlers commuting on aircrafts.

Unfortunately bandwidth is much worse than road and train networks. You can't support thousands of people commuting by air every day.


Did you miss the county push to close Reid-Hillview?
