Cupertino is not "the middle of nowhere." And 12 story buildings are a terrible idea in an earthquake zone with soft ground.
The amount of space we use for office parks is tiny in comparison with the amount of space we use for agriculture. Only 3% of the land used in the US is urban sprawl-- less than the total acreage of a single crop, alfalfa hay. https://www.westernwatersheds.org/watmess/watmess_2002/2002html_summer/article6.htm https://www.westernwatersheds.org/watmess/watmess_2002/2002h...
Of course, Cupertino's public transportation sucks. But so does San Francisco's, even though it's tiny. Maybe stop bragging about where you live, and find something else to be a snob about.
