Tech workers don’t live out here in significant numbers. They are way more common in the South Bay than the Fairfield area. IMO.

Yeah, let’s spend money to move offices to a worse location. More dangerous commute, more traffic, worse weather, and worse neighboring cities.
The developers don’t need to make it that appealing. It’s close enough to San Francisco and Sacramento while also being next to an airbase. The housing demand in the area is already high. They will be filled quickly no matter what. My bigger concern is what happens to Fairfield, I’m not sure if this will have a positive impact and I fear to see what a worse Fairfield would look like.

This isn’t all that close to SF tbh. It’s about 45 min- 1 hour away. I doubt they are going to alter existing highways that have the comforting title of Blood Alley because of all the fatal crashes.
Public transportation out in this area is basically non-existent. We got some buses, and that’s it. The closest BART(Bay Area Rapid Transit aka subway) station to where they are building this is concord about 30 min away, with the ride into the city taking another 45. It’s on the cusp of being too far away to commute to the city.
