Afroloop writes "This article (with pics) in the SFGate covers the opening of the new Lucas Headquarters in San Francisco's famous Presidio. It will house up to 1,500 employees by next fall. From the article: 'The Presidio will feature 600 miles of fiber-optic cable. 4,000 processors and 150 terabytes of storage -- massive computing power and speed, with the ability to work 10 times faster than they can today.'"

    Short answer: The Republican Congress didn't like the idea of creating a National Park in a strong Democratic constituency. So the park has to perma-lease public recreational land to fatcats like Lucas in order to cover the budget. Then Lucas makes movies comparing republican governance to the "rise of the Sith", so it all works out karmically.
