People will gather in Mountain View tonight to help solve Silicon Valley’s transportation and housing crisis. The Friends of Caltrain will host an event to tackle these two vexing solutions more residents now face. From the event invite:
How can Silicon Valley be so fast-moving when it comes to technology and so stuck when it comes to housing and transportation? Mountain View is now planning for housing in North Bayshore near Google, LinkedIn and Microsoft – how much will this help, and what else is needed?

The event is co-sponsored by Mountain View Coalition for Sustainable Planning, Balanced Mountain View, Sunnyvale Cool, Palo Alto Forward, Redwood City Forward, TransForm, Microsoft, LinkedIn.
