Wouldn't it be nice if "all this new high-tech business" could lead to the creation of additional high-quality jobs and a more diverse and stable economy rather than a "housing boon" that transforms the Capital Region into something like northern Virginia, where homes are unaffordable, developers have dollar signs in their eyes, and open space turns into a sea of sprawl? Just askin'.
