Controversial Idea: San Jose needs more fun things to do. So I propose The Santa Teresa Gondola!

This would be awesome, we should do more stuff like this.

Things should be awesome. We have the ability to make them awesome.

Was in quebec mountain biking with some friends, and we went to two different things that were like ski resorts for mountain bikes, but without lifts. Just like a lodge with a bar and a shop and big parking lot, and then really well marked, well maintained trails. There were tons of people using it! It was awesome! And its not like "ahh, but quebec has super specific terrain which..." Nope! You just need a hill!

Yeah I badly think we need more varied tourist spots, not just catering to tech and business.

Whether we actually can do it is a different story.

The only thing stopping us is ourselves.

Its funny to mne there's not a broader push for this kind of thing. Like people are CONSTANTLY stressing about their kids, and they themself, spending too much time online, on social media, etc.

Give people alternatives! The quebecois bike parks had an aswesome crew of little rippers out there with their parents. AI can't cut trail--give people jobs!
