    • Innovation never sleeps.utopian
    • as required by law...
      14,000 offices and 11,000 parking spots, all covered by solar panels ... what is your problem with this?      monospaced
    • I'm sure if they didn't provide enough parking in your mind you'd be shitting on them too about being unfair to employeesmonospaced
    • Didn't they build housing too? Apple's never cared about the environ, but you'd think the housing would eliminate the need for so much parking.formed
    • Apples never cared about the environment? I believe this building sets some new environmentally friendly standards does it not?monospaced
    • And why would you expect employees to move to work, just to avoid a commute? Not sure it makes sense to be employer and landlord. That's weird.monospaced
    • that would be too much like China and Foxonn lol.fadein11
    • To park their Apple car?pango
    • Every new office building is built to LEED or other standards. Of course people move for work, that's silly to even say. Apple makes disposable "things".formed
    • New housing standards are reducing parking ratios dramatically (some as low as .5 spaces/bedroom), if Apple wanted to they could do that too.formed
    • but it's ok, mono, I know Apple is saving the world all the time ;-)formed
    • where are the suicide nets?PonyBoy
    • Chinapango
    • Not sure why you would expect Apple to build housing only for its employees. That's ridiculous and unheard of.monospaced
    • utopian never sleeps!
      when it comes to apple bashing :D      ernexbcn
    • Facebook are building housing for their employees - Gehry is on board and gladly taking all that FB fat cash for his usual wank.face_melter
    • Why wouldn't an employer build housing? It would be stupid not to when you build an entire campus.formed
    • you want to live at work?ernexbcn
    • An employer might not build housing because they aren't in the business of rentals and home real estate, maybe?monospaced
    • I mean seriously, is that what's got your panties in a twist, that they didn't build housing for employees to offset the parking spaces?monospaced
