Apple Campus in RTP area? (Charlotte: low income, rent, homes)

We don't need them in our area. Our infrastructure cannot handle the needs they bring unless they pay their way instead of being bribed.

Other NC areas need the jobs. We do not need or want them.

Oh, but "we" in all likelihood DO want them. Very much. I would much rather see Apple than Amazon.

World-class employment is nothing to sneeze at, as the investment and jobs "pay their way."

Now that the H1B Visa's *might* dry up maybe Apple will have to look elsewhere for their "unobtainable" American based talent. The Silicon Valley area is going to have quite a bit of competition. I read one article claiming numbers of 75% of tech workers in that region where on H1B Visas.

"We" disagree with you because "we" might have some opportunities.

This is a big deal for those of us in the tech sector.

Correction: you don’t want them, “we” do.

Speak for yourself. Just because you hate anything that could potentially price you out of your tinderbox doesn't mean the rest of the Triangle does.

Sounds like the lowlife yuppies in NYC that refer to rent controlled tenants as mooches.

Many of these folks have lived in their communities since childhood and are now pushed out by the greed of developers and overpaid yuppies.

Perhaps some of the losers coming here will fall on hard times in RTP and experience the generosity of our lovely government.

Why are they losers, because they got here after you did? Or because they're younger and more successful? Someone has to carry the tax burden.
