Ostensibly, this is good as it means cheap office space.
There's a catch though... have any of you folks actually seen these buildings? They're not exactly in nice neighborhoods (I actually used to work next to one of these). Most of them are over the 101 which means it'll be a 15-20 minute drive to downtown for food. While it's true that Google is also past the 101, they can also afford to hire their own chefs. An apartment off of San Antonio/University/MenloAve/Castro/etc. seems preferable.
The other bit of trouble is that they're all large office buildings. Are they set up so that they can be rented out by a small shop? I'm pointing at the Yahoo campus buildings in particular.
