You would prefer acres of ground level parking lots like Google?

psst: the photo is at an angle so it distorts the relative sizes of the buildings.

@jonhendry @jplebreton OK then here is above view but I dunno I still think it looks like a lot. The longer of the 2 parkades is the same length as the diameter of the office building and both are thicker.

There are also no high capacity public transit options and no dedicated bike paths to and from the campus, and Apple has pretty strict work-in-office mandates so all that combined means this parking infrastructure is pretty well used.

Seems like an awful waste. That space could house a lot of people and other businesses, and would definitely generate a lot more tax revenue per km^2 for the city to support the infrastructure there (which would only be slightly higher to support residential and mixed use compared to the significantly higher tax base vs basically zero taxes from the parking garages)

This sort of urban development isn't sustainable any more really.
