Apple announces plan to build $1 billion campus in Texas

Apple will build a $1 billion campus in Austin, Texas, and establish smaller new locations in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, California, the company said Thursday. The tech giant based in Cupertino, California, says the new campus in Austin will start with 5,000 employees working in engineering, research and development, operations, finance, sales and customer support. It will be less than a mile from existing Apple facilities.

The other new locations will have more than 1,000 employees each.

Austin already is home to more than 6,000 Apple employees, representing the largest population of the company's workers outside of Apple's Cupertino headquarters, where most of its roughly 37,000 California employees work.

[...] The company also said it plans to expand in Pittsburgh, New York and Colorado over the next three years.

    More California progs invading. It may be time to cut Austin loose. Last time I visited, the ex-California's were pushing an initiative for "light rail", presumably because it has been such a success story in CA.

    That'll make Texas a much nicer place to live in.

    Even worse. The one thing that would have made it somewhat useful, namely connecting to the airport, didn't happen. The taxi lobby got that segment dropped.

    Mind you, the californicates have been moving here for some time, and it shows.

      They have a balanced budget now?

        California only has a balanced budget if you ignore their pension problems.
