You keep saying the region, the region, county level doesn't do land use, never have never will. Santa Clara (the city not the county) zones it this way specifically.
This is a bad development for the region, and only marginally better than Jay Paul's Moffett xxxxx (Towers, Place, Towers 2) in Sunnyvale put together. Light rail is a poor transit option and has lead to significant traffic increases on 101 and 237. This will be worse for traffic and has significant environmental issues, Capitol Corridor and ACE are barely used in this corridor, Santa Clara could have targeted this kind of development near SCU, and BART, but didn't.
This is exactly the thing the South Bay doesn't need.
