THE INTERSECTION: Mountain View or Googleville?

There's a reason some locals fear that Mountain View is becoming a company town: Google accounts for 1 in 5 jobs here and it owns more land than anyone else.

In this episode of THE INTERSECTION — a KALW podcast that looks at change in the Bay Area — we'll try to determine if Mountain View has become a 21st century version of the old company town ... and what that may mean for the town's future.
 

"There's a social responsibility aspect: If you destroy the town you live in, you might still be the biggest name in town, but you might be the biggest name for all the wrong reasons."

THE INTERSECTION was made possible with a grant from the San Francisco Arts Commission and support from California Humanities, a nonprofit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
