Young people aren't the only tech workers. As the companies grow up, the workers do too. More families.....

And don't forget about the ultra frugal immigrants.....

The valley is a good place for it. Cheap lands and lots of it. Well, cheap by California standards.

Biotech, medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing as well.

As I know ultra frugal immigrants prefer Fremont...

Interesting that houses in South San Jose are not that overpriced as in SF or on Peninsula

and I580 is trully horrible now with at least 2 lanes each direction occupied by big trucks that go to big retails' hubs near Stockton

It will take a lot more than an article for something viable to happen. It's not that complicated. It all comes down to transportation. If you could get from Tracy to San Jose and/or SF in 30-45 minutes you won't need a lot of persuasion, articles or other hand waving for people to start moving there.

It would be great if they can pull it off and the time would be now since prices are so low. I think people would move and want to live there because I saw the feeding frenzy that Mountain House caused when it was first built. Sure, it busted, but it proved that people want to live there!

Well there was talk several years ago about building a highway from highway 5 around tracy/patterson to 680 @ alum rock that would be an expensive project but it's not like it would be a bridge to nowhere it would serve alot of commuters and probably cut the commute time by 1/3 or more. it could also work for the reverse commute it Tracy actually took off as a tech hub.

People wanted to live there because they couldn't afford the prices in the Bay Area.

I can see lots of "back office" types of jobs moving to Tracy. A lot of them are already leaving the state completely. Having a mini hub in Tracy may be a compromise plan.

So instead of bumper to bumper traffic traveling east to west in the morning and west to east in the evening, it will be bumper to bumper in both directions, both morning AND evening. Someone better hurry up and extend that BART link from Pleasanton to Tracy.
