these kinds of things inspire me as a version of “land of opportunity” that are different and more useful than what I was taught

What I think is disingenuous is that Cupertino surely raises property taxes right? Why would they be worried about a reduction in sales tax, i haven’t checked their finances though

It's because they've gotten used to the money and almost no one anywhere wants less of it.

Property taxes don't pay for much in California because of how Prop 13 works. Schools in nice areas like Cupertino rely on parents' donations.
