Correct: it is not suburbia yet, but it should be, considering the demand. Agricultural farms should use the land further away from the Silicon Valley.
Yes - you and I see the same things: grass fields. But you and I, somehow, come to a different conclusions. You think that there should be no residential areas in these fields, and I think that it makes sense to build more houses in these fields.
You may be not aware, but there's a lot of development happening not exactly in these fields, but a little bit further down South, San Martin, Morgan Hill, Gilroy. Prices around 700k. Just google it.
The good part about Old Monterey Road is that it is 15 minutes drive closer to San Jose (and Silicon Valley companies in general). The proximity to these companies -- is the main reason for building residential houses there in the first place.

Why would "without traffic" measurement be important? When most people commuting to their work - there is traffic, right? Therefore time "with traffic" would be the most relevant, right?

There is even some
farming space within walking distance from IBM research.

It's not suburbia, it's beyond. Further South there are wineries... ranches... That's why I ride there.

"IBM research" is surrounded by grass and then by fences. South-East from that IBM territory there are fields.

Why not use closer fields (around Old Monterey Rd)?

Also, your maps are a little bit old.
And of course it takes about 15 minutes to get from San Jose to Gilroy (without traffic, I mean).

What did change since these maps were made?
