Google could for example work with the locals to actually provide good for the quarter. The google campus replaces a space that was used for venues at least some of the time. For example it hosted a Christmas market every year for a weekend. Not much, but a bit of community involvement. Google could have worked towards making things possible, but google has, from what I heard even managed to anger other tenants in the building by steamrolling their wishes (such as attempting to cut fire escape routes for others offices that went through their space) and has generally been pretty tone-deaf in communication even within the building. It’s certainly not a guarantee that things would have gone smoothly, but it would have taken some edge off. I know for certain that quite a few people in the building (which is full of startups and IT-focused companies) sympathize with the protests.
