Re: 1,000 units, near car-free, planned in Hayward

=v= Quarry Village was mentioned briefly in a _Times_ article
last month:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/12/science/earth/12suburb.html

So I looked it up:

http://www.quarryvillage.org/

=v= Hayward is close to Oakland and San Francisco (via the
region's only well-funded transit line), but Quarry Village
is 1.5 miles UPHILL (and across a highway) from the transit
stop.  That kind of configuration makes walking and biking
a harder sell.  (I'm generally not impressed with shuttles.)

=v= I think this might just be glorified student housing.
I support the concept, of course, but that population is
transient.
