At least Google plans to add houses but to me that is the key to getting people to return to the office. A home within a 20 minute commute that doesn't cost 1.2 million for a tear down.

> Google is proceeding with its massive multi-billion-dollar Downtown West development that will span roughly 80 acres near Diridon Station and could take about a decade to complete.

Google anticipates up to 25,000 people working in its downtown offices, across 7.3 million square feet of office space. The project plans also call for adding *4,000 homes*, 15 acres of parks, a large community center and its own microgrid.
