> Complaints about how the architecture of new apt buildings on El Camino Real is ruining the character of MV

That's bizarre to me. The "architecture" on El Camino in MV is strictly of the suburban-strip-mall variety. Even identikit glitzy new apartment buildings are an improvement over that, even without taking into account how they can help alleviate the housing crisis.

Agreed. That ship has sailed. Meanwhile, I drive by this house (http://tinyurl.com/yblhpelz) every day. The property has been boarded up and abandoned for at least 2 years. It's within walking distance to the Caltrain, and biking distance to Google and dozens of other tech companies. Yet there it remains.

One contrast is the Two Worlds development on El Camino. It mixes ground-floor business fronts with upper-floor residential... and it was built thirty-two years ago.
