While digging through public records tonight, I found some photos a city inspector took of Apple's skunkworks fab at 3250 Scott Blvd in 2022. Look at this! A NFPA 4-4-4-₩ Fire Diamond is exactly what I want outside my bedroom.
(This is sarcasm - the building is basically a 💣).
Really appalling this was allowed to operate in that location. As your website points out, there are thousands of residents right across the street, but there are also thousands of office workers in the immediate vicinity. Seems incompatible with datacenters too, to have something explode-y nearby.
Agreed! In California, semiconductor fab has its own hazard code (because its off the charts hazardous), and is supposed to be "heavy industrial" zoned land. Heavy Industrial needs a buffer between it and anything non-industrial (residential, commercial, etc). It should not be in a city center.
