There's a middle path, and I'm hopeful - not terribly optimistic, but hopeful - that however Perimeter navigates the opposing wishes of the residents and Google sets a strong president for figuring out human-scale ways of blurring the lines.

I think the "massive international corporation" is a bit of a red herring. This is development/intensification vs neighbourhood. Not the first time and not the last. A balance needs to be found.

In your view, what counts as a "giant wall"? How big a garage would you have accepted?
