       | The article doesn't convince me that this dump is totally

       | "sustainable" solution as we will continue to need dumps for the
       | foreseeable future...

       | The flat area where the office buildings are was a bean field.

       | through years farm, to go to shoreline. Then SGI and J&J built
       | buildings there (which later became the Google campus) and the
       | park and amphitheater just seem to most people to be part of the
       | landscape. Which is great!
