It would be interesting and useful to hear balanced criticism based on this large corporation's presence, not just the good stuff.

I'm glad that Facebook, rather than the city, is paying for various projects. It's the least that they can do when they dodge taxes, as is standard with so many other companies.

We've been force fed so much good news about these companies it's easy to be blinded to their negative impacts. Note the glossing over of skyrocketing rents, which actually has a number of residents in BH terrified. Will the upcoming residents' displacement be glossed over, too?

This all sounds rosy and cozy, but I too, am concerned about the displacement and huge rent increases for anyone in the low income category as this part of Menlo Park develops further. What part is facebook doing to preserve the affordable aspect of Belle Haven? When they speak of building huge complexes for their team, could they also built for low income as a tax write off and as a trade off for any displacement? Then I would be impressed.
