That announcement was from 2019. Honest question, how can I see the progress made from this investment? Did they build any, some or all of these homes yet? It does sound great though, I hope they did.

Thank you for that. Looks like no ground has been broken and Google is still cutting through bureaucracy.

When it's cheaper and easier to summon a Waymo than to find a public toilet in San Francisco, expect need to find solution.
