Calif. No more sprawl. Land is efficiently used and re-used, and there are distinct green boundaries preserving open space. Students and adults have the education and skills needed for local technology jobs.
Housing is more affordable and closer to mass transit.
Development grows up, not out. And all this happens because of the creative, diverse, connected and civically engaged Silicon Valley residents working together to make it happen. The vision was unveiled by the VLT s co-chairs, Jay Harris, chairman and publisher of the San Jose Mercury News, and Dianne McKenna, retired Santa Clara County supervisor, at a press conference Oct. 6. Our communities protect the natural environment and promote livability. Our inclusive society connects people to opportunities.
