Given its economic and cultural impact, Silicon Valley should look like Singapore or central Tokyo, with comfortable highrises, parks, and a top-notch train system -- not a vague cluster of parking lots, strip malls, office parks, and bungalows from the 1970s. What a waste.
On a similar note, I really like what has been happening to the South Lake Union neighborhood in Seattle as a result of Microsoft and Amazon wealth. A formerly car-centric industrial warehouse area, it's now increasingly looking and feeling like central Tokyo. Highrises ftw
As the adage once went, “If you want to build platforms move to Seattle, if you want to build product move to the Valley.” Platforms like infrastructure development requires people to think holistically and plan accordingly.
But can any mortal afford to live there now?
Huh ... the lack of public transportation connectivity in Silicon Valley is a wilful policy decision of the cities in the Silicon Valley, driven by the fear that connecting SIlicon Valley to a public transportation system would open it "visits" from the Richmond Area public ...
SLU is a comfy, clean neighborhood that is truly shaping up to be a model urban space, far cry from the grimey parking lots and warehouses. Another selling point is the park. Where else in the world can you live, work, kayak, jog, and pick blackberries all within a kilometer?
Rio de Janeiro. I would love to know SLU, though! Seems amazing.
Only problem is that they picked steetcar instead of real public transit to get around.
