Why would google want to deal with the kabillion regulations that exist here.
"Sorry, we'll bring fiber to your area just as soon as we get through the 46 meetings necessary to remove this heritage tree blocking the way"
Imagine the red tape involved in doing anything in MTV or SF or the bay area.
The cynical old man in you consider just how over-regulated the area really is. California requires lighting and wattage density calculations to place lighting in a building. This part is actually not so uncommon, since IECC has some requirements.

However, compare:

with

Note: Texas just follows IECC (so for example, you will find it the same for NJ, MD, VA, TX, etc), while california has gone off on their own.
I'm actually all for permitting and code inspection, but a lot of the crap you deal with in SF and MTV is truly crazy.
