Apple To Build $1B Austin Campus, Add Thousands of Jobs in US Expansion (cnet.com)

Apple said Thursday it plans to invest $1 billion building a new corporate campus in Austin, Texas, that could eventually create 15,000 jobs. From a report: The iPhone maker will also set up new offices in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, Los Angeles County, as well as expanding operations in Pittsburgh, New York and Boulder, Colorado, according to the press release.

The Austin campus will be located less than a mile away from Apple's existing facilities in the Texas city, which already employ 6,200 people (its largest group of employees outside Cupertino). The new area will initially hold 5,000 employees, with capacity to grow to 15,000 over time.

Not here. This isn't as bad as Amazon coming in, but please, not here. We don't want the capital of Texas to turn into the bay area. You can keep your leftist attitudes and taxes where they are.

While I support your sentiment for pretty much all the south, I was of the thought that Austin was actually already pretty much the one small island of liberalism and Commiefornia mind thought in TX already?

You are right to be concerned. I'm from Texas but lived in Colorado for the last 20 years. It went from a red state to a blue state in that time and the Commiefornians are coming here in droves and have thoroughly changed the place for the worse. It's amazing that they ruin their own beautiful state with sky high taxes, hordes of illegals & homeless folks they created, brain dead regulation, zoning laws that gentrify areas + lock-out new home building, and then they want to come here and make all the same mistakes. Too bad they can't just stay there and stew in the hell they created for themselves. It's so unfortunate that people come to Texas to take advantage of the low taxes and more reasonable levels of regulation but then seem to think "Hey, let's make this into California since it worked out so well there!"

Houston is also a very liberal city.

The only reason Texas is considered a "red" state is because of gerrymandering. It's changing, and fast. Soon, Texas will go back to being a Democratic state.

And then people can crap on the sidewalks at will, like Cali!

Thank ... er, whatever folks like us thank ... "goddess" I guess!

You can't even be original in your reply. The only good bigot(that would be you asshole) is a dead one. Why don't you practice some late term abortion bigot, and put sit in a closed area with your car running. Fucking die bigot.

I'm in Texas and you're right, we don't want smarter, sexier, better California types moving in and fucking our ugly women in Texas. It's hard enough keeping them in the barn as is, and we're mostly all related.

The fact is there's just nowhere to go for cowboy-dressed faggots en masse, the world is changing. It's sad, but the liberals won.

That's why I drink myself to death in these shit-covered Texas dungarees, it's my lot in life as an inbred Republican to sit on my ass and whine like this.
