Maybe its time to make a charter real quick to keep future revenue. I wonder what the process is.

The nimbys and 'fiscal libertarians' of the area will take great umbrage to you messing with their bottom line; but there is a glimmer of hope with the sb-35 inroads forcing new higher density housing into the area.

I like to mental model the south bay area as chicago pre-greatfire/civil war era; it has expanded all it can on land and it must go under to be built up. We're just watching an economic wild fire in slow motion as it immolates 'the way things are', clearing out the old growth for a new meadow to take route.

Would be better if they were annexed by Sunnyvale. Cupertino voters regularly elect people who think Apple employees shouldn't be allowed to live in the city because they'll hire prostitutes and molest local high school students. (Direct quote.)
