Issues surrounding the author's personality aside (that have been raised enough in other threads, and quite a few of them in a tone I'd say borders on unethical): in Germany, we have strict zoning rules for heavy industry - some particularly bad polluters have up to 1500m of required distance to residential use [1], even if the area they're planning on operating in is already zoned industrial.
Wonder how Apple got approved to even construct this facility so close to residential (or, if Apple was there prior to residential usage, why residential construction was allowed so close to them), in California of all places that's even known here in Germany to have really strict zoning requirements.

- camillomiller 2y agoYour comment gets the cake. The guy just expressed surprise at how zoning works in California and he is absolutely right. Your comment sounds like you didn’t read through.
