I know Cupertino is upscale but residents still get in their cars and use the roads to get to work right? Not every resident is independently wealthy.
Apple employees and contractors may contribute to the traffic by commuting from inside and outside of Cupertino to the office but does the company contribute "massively"?
People also clog up the roads going to all manner of jobs and also coming to Cupertino for one of its many big box stores.
- AlbertCory 4y ago> its many big box stores and you live where? I count two: Target and Home Depot.
- fundad 3y agoI'm talking about the Target all the big supermarkets and the Home Depot which isn't in Cupertino but contributes to traffic.
- kccqzy 4y agoYou mean the Home Depot at 975 S De Anza Blvd, San Jose, CA 95129?
- astrange 4y agoThere's a TJ Maxx.
- AlbertCory 4y agoI call that a "store", not a "big box store."
- zamnos 4y agoHome Depot (and Trader Joe's and H-Mart) are just outside of Cupertino, in a trick that would otherwise look like gerrymandering since the border follows S De Anza Blvd and Prospect Rd to the south instead of jutting out to enclose those specific stores in San Jose's jurisdiction. There is, however a number of popular stores, including Whole Foods, Target as you mentioned, a 99-Ranch and a Safeway, and a JOANN Fabric and Crafts. There's also Apple's Infinite loop campus which isn't a big box store but does involve a lot of traffic, as well as De Anza College, the local community college which also involves a lot of traffic. I swear there used to be a Best Buy on that stretch of Stevens Creek, but that was too long ago for my memory, and Google's memory. Complaining about people clogging up roads is some NextDoor level shit though.
- astrange 4y agoCupertino doesn't have those stores anymore since Vallco closed. The city has been fighting Vallco redevelopment as hard and illegally as it can because the last thing they'll let Apple employees do is live in Cupertino. Only retirees and landlords allowed. (People on the planning commission have directly said Apple employees are too poor to be allowed to live there, are men so will molest their daughters and hire prostitutes - meanwhile the locals who show up to meethings think they're too rich so will park their BMWs in front of their houses and attract crime, and will give them cancer by planting 5G cell phone towers.)

- buzzert 4y agoI would not consider Cupertino to be "upscale".
