My biggest concerns are that they will be offices that have no ground level retail or anything open to the public. Essentially you would need a Google badge to get in. The next concern would be about housing, while there are like 13 stalled high rise proposals for downtown, it is really not enough housing for 20k people. So there would need to be more construction to make up for it.
Maybe the rents will go up enough that developers want to build there instead of Sunnyvale or Santa Clara or SF, but I don't know.
