"In the middle of nowhere, Trimark's new town is the newest phenomenon in the explosive story of California's growth -- and the newest Bay Area battleground for older questions of sprawl, traffic and affordable housing...Urban planning experts call Mountain House the first large-scale new town since the Disney Company's 1996-era Celebration, Fla., and other maturing new towns such as Irvine and Rancho Santa Margarita, Reston, Va., Columbia, Md., and Woodlands, Texas."
