👍🏼 Great video! As someone who's always been interested in urban planning and development, it's stimulating to see these projects taking shape in the South Bay. I can only imagine the planning, coordination, and management it takes to bring these ideas to fruition. As a future project manager, I'm taking notes and hoping to learn from the best. Thanks for sharing this inspiring glimpse into the future of our community! 🙌
