Jseigler's done a great job of it, but you can ask Google themselves - CA's CEQA process is hell on earth. From the horse's mouth, so to speak: "Many fine California city proposals for the Google Fiber project were ultimately passed over in part because of the regulatory complexity here brought about by CEQA [California Environmental Quality Act] and other rules. Other states have equivalent processes in place to protect the environment without causing such harm to business processes, and therefore create incentives for new services to be deployed there instead." http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2013/04/google-fiber-next-city/64048/ http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2013/04/google-fib...
