I wonder what proportion of Mountain View is controlled by Alphabet.
- nostrademons 9y agoIt's large, but not that large: https://goo.gl/maps/RsVxwkZLpir https://goo.gl/maps/RsVxwkZLpir Google owns almost the entire North Bayshore area - that's the area north of 101. They also own smaller campuses or isolated buildings by Whisman/Middlefield, Shoreline/Terra Bella, and Mayfield/Central. But Mountain View still has large commercial/industrial zones by San Antonio Center, on Castro Street itself, and in the 237/85 triangle by Whisman/Ellis/Dana. The Whisman/Ellis area is particularly large: this is the home of Symantic, Veritas, YCombinator, Whatsapp, Coursera, Mozilla, Samsung, and several other companies that aren't household names. I'd probably estimate it at maybe 50%.
