As a Mnt View resident myself, I strongly applaud this, but
am disappointed that families got the short end. I get that
the media age at Google is low, but I bet that a short commute is disproportionately important to parents.
Having more units for singles/couples will lower the pressure on 3BR+ apartments; I know a few people staying in large apartments in SF as it's the most rational decision to minimize rent on a per-tenant basis.
That is certainly true, but it's not clear to me if that effect is better than just creating [some] 3BR+ apartments as part of this. Regardless, there's no debate that this development is a good thing overall.
