Is that the old Sun Microsystems campus?
Think of all the solar energy that parking lot could make.
Better yet, build something worthwhile on the space. Housing, shops, transit - there are clearly going to be a lot of people going here on a regular basis, why make it so that they have to live far away? The rooftops of all of these places can then host solar panels, without actually wasting the space below them on something as useless as car storage.
Most colleges do have solar over the parking lot for shaded bonus
Should be called Menlo parking.
For a while, Facebook was going to be putting some money into rebuilding the Dumbarton Rail Bridge and having a stop at its campus (pictured) on a route between Redwood City and Hayward, but with remote work and interest rates being what they are now it seems unlikely it'll ever go anywhere.
As an european: oh look it’s a cute cluster of buildings on a tiny island on a tiny lake, and then you zoom and “oh no”.
1.2 parking spots for each employee?

Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
