Don’t turn San Jose into New York City

So now we have “YIMBY” action, lead by naive me generation millennials wanting to turn San Jose into New York City and thinking more development is going to save us. Their question? “Where is my generation going to live?” My answer? Anywhere but here.

Bay Area tech’s obsession with growing near their corporate headquarters is shortsighted, especially in this day of webinars and the ability to work remotely. Our infrastructure is maxed out, folks.
