SAN FRANCISCO — Tech industry titans have navigated a lot to get where they are today — the dot-com bust, the 2008 recession, a backlash against tech power, the pandemic.

Atherton is sending its housing element to the state, leaning on accessory dwelling units and SB 9 applications to meet its housing goals through 2031 while shying away from zoning for multifamily housing.
An Atherton resident upset with slow internet speeds took it upon himself to create a new ISP called Atherton Fiber. Now it s providing internet service to residents and is looking to expand.
