MOUNTAIN VIEW: Google has backed down from a threat to deny badly needed housing in Mountain View if it isn't given more office space for its futuristic new "Charleston East" campus.
After pushing for 9,850 housing units to be built in the North Bayshore area anchored by Charleston East, Google last week told the Mountain View City Council it would cancel that plan if officials didn't agree to add more office space to the 3.6 million square feet in the draft plan. Most of the housing, if ultimately approved, would be built on Google's land.
