Between hypothetical flooding in 2100 and the drug dealers with loaded AR-15s living in RV's in my neighborhood, I'm more worried about the latter.

If the water rises and the land sinks, common sense tells us that would lead to more rapid flooding. But is the land actually sinking? Did the land sink in the San Francisco earthquake or did it rise or was there any change in elevation of the land or only a large horizontal movement, northward on the west side of the fault and southward on the eastside of the fault?

Why do they high tech industries insist on building here?

I'm so glad we're going to fix our "housing imbalance" by building 10,000 housing units over land that will be flooded in a generations time. Way to go Mountain View City Council. You guys are so slick, nothing gets by you! ;)

This city council has the chance to go down in history as the worst in city history. Not only did they give away our water rights for pennies on the dollar, they approved construction of thousands of new homes that will soon be flooded. These historically bad decisions will hurt Mountain View for decades and centuries to come.
