If you've ever been to Google's Mountain View, Calif. headquarters, also known as the Googleplex, you may have noticed that the area is essentially a collection of low-rise office buildings off of Highway 101. There isn't a large amount of housing, residential infrastructure or shops close by; which is one of the reasons why Google has an expansive cafeteria, gym, and even childcare options on-premises. Furthermore, there is little to no public transportation available nearby, which is why Google provides luxury buses with wi-fi to employees commuting from San Francisco. It appears that Google is trying to change this. Last week, the search giant sent a letter to the City of Mountain View to encourage the city to pursue sustainable development opportunities in area around Google campus (known as the North Bayshore area). I've embedded the documents below.
