All of that land that is undeveloped is owned by someone or something. Some of it will never be developed unless it is traded for similar land, i.e. Midpeninsula Open Space/National/State/County park land. A huge swath along 280 from Portola Valley to San Mateo is part of the water system for San Francisco - someone is going to have to convince them to give up Hetchy Hetch water before that goes away. Much of the open space near Palo Alto is owned by Stanford, and is why Stanford is one of the largest universities by size in the world. Unincorporated areas in the mountains have to supply their own water from wells and in the drought last year many places on the rainy side of the mountains went dry - building density where there is not enough water or sewage outside of septic tanks is not reasonable. |
