Traffic is going to increase since people will be leaving en mass to go from their campuses to local eateries. Local eateries benefit from urban areas with a high concentration of businesses. This works when you have multiple high rises and/or tons of smaller startups in an area, both of which are common in SF. Mountain View is not suburban but outside of Castro, you need a car to get anywhere for a bite if you're on one of those campuses.
With more traffic caused by people leaving their campus more than start/end of day, people will need to account for more traffic. This may cause people to move further out or pay more of a premium for housing in close proximity.
If these companies knew ahead of time that this was not allowed, they may not have built their campuses so sprawling or may have avoided these areas altogether.
