I think there is something to be said about the quality of life in these individual cities.

From San Jose through Carlmont, Burlingame etc., each city already has a large amount of development and more importantly, are residential neighborhoods containing schools, parks, and the like.

There are already very large amounts of traffic congestion at certain points (currently have Ralston and Hillsdale in my mind), and near the various high schools in the area.

I'm not saying we shouldn't strive for better infrastructure and development planning but the Camino Real strip is not the low hanging fruit in my opinion.

The thing is lots of those towns cry foul when someone wants to introduce development. It's virtually a crime. But if you could make the corridor self sustaining with a good efficient transit line up and down the corridor -- that would be my dream. In reality it's going to be piecemeal with old timers kicking and screaming at every occasion.
