He was hoping to have a meeting about the city ’s growing traffic congestion to which Apple contributes considerably . He did n’t get one .
Per The Guardian :
Barry Chang scarcely made it into the lobby when Apple ’s surety team surround and escorted him off the attribute .
“ They say ‘ you’re able to not come in , you ’re not invited ’ . After that I left and have not go back , ” enounce an browned off Chang , who ’s been mayor since December 2015 and had approached the computing firm when he was serving on the urban center council three years ago .
With Apple currentlybuilding its monolithic spaceship campus , Chang says the city ’s trains and highways will be more overburdened than ever and could really use supporter from the company . According to thereport , Chang phone on Apple to pay $ 100 million to ameliorate the city ’s infrastructure so that it can keep up with the increased dealings from the fresh HQ .
“ [ Apple is ] not uncoerced to pay a dime bag . They ’re making a net , and they should partake in the responsibility for our urban center , but they wo n’t , ” Chang told The Guardian . “ They maltreat us . ”
