On the one hand, I appreciate the level of innovation and forward thinking that Google is doing here. It's a lot of neat ideas and designs.
But on the other hand, I don't like the idea of a private company deciding how a city should develop- especially not my city. No matter what they say, they are a for-profit publicity-traded company whose goal, always, is ROI for investors. And that conflicts with the goals of city management, where the goal is the benefit of the public and not just those with money.
