Along with 6 story units, we need better commute. The challenge is that the developers and cities lie and say hey we can add housing but we do not need to improve roads, and even if we improve roads, we will improve it just a tiny bit.
Please travel from Sunnyvale Saratoga starting at 101 at the north end to 85/DeAnza at the south end at 5-6 PM every day and see how long it takes to travel 6 miles. Unless you live here and know it already, you will be surprised.
But when it comes to selling housing, the developers, one example being of the vallco mall owner, somehow gets their way without any indication that their project will benefit the city, and thus rightly gets overturned at the ballot. [ And this is from someone (me) who failed to buy a house in Cupertino and now lives elsewhere.]
Anyways the way to build 6 story buildings can not be by making the living worse for everyone who already lives there. Much worse.
