In an environmental sense, Apple may as well be building a new 100 ACRE carpark."

what are your thoughts on this 950 hectare void in prime farmland? You would be surely outraged against this.

A void that, one should add, affects the farmland for miles around by creating a low point for groundwater to drain towards.
