I’m assuming that if it is driven by tech, there will be offices for the major companies there. The developers will make it appealing for major tech firms to invest somehow.

Yeah, let's spend money to move offices to a worse location. More dangerous commute, more traffic, worse weather, worse neighboring cities and more air traffic,.

The developers don't need to make it that appealing. It's close enough to San Francisco and Sacramento while also being next to an airbase. The housing demand in the area is already high. They will be filled quickly no matter what. My bigger concern is what happens to Fairfield, I'm not sure if this will have a positive impact and I fear to see what a worse Fairfield would look like.
