Dear Google, we thank you for all you have done for Mountain View, but aren't there dozens of other cities besides SF in the Bay Area that you can build offices in? This will alleviate the stress on our little town and its housing. If you have offices in other towns, our traffic will decrease. If you have office buildings in other cities, people can live closer to work and will not have to commute so far to come to Mountain View. If you have office buildings in other cities, maybe our town will be able to keep its residents instead of driving up housing prices, pushing our families out and thus decreasing enrollment in our public schools. Look at Vallejo, they need a boost in their economy. What about other towns? What about Tracy, Gilroy or Morgan Hill? Macy's has stores everywhere, why can't you have more offices around the Bay to relieve the stress on our tiny town? Please think about it. Thank you.
