Just down the street from where I'm sitting at Chiron in Emeryville is the corporate offices of Pixar. Yes, that Pixar. Monsters, Inc. Finding Nemo. Infinity and Beyond. and Steve Jobs.

There's a interesting article in one of the local papers about how a small group of citizens in Emeryville is strong-arming the animation studio that wants to triple the size of its corporate campus.

It's sort of a reversal of fortune for Pixar which has been used to running roughshod over local authorities. So what's the beef of these local citizens? Well, apparently Emeryville has created so many jobs by being "business-friendly" that they haven't been able to keep on the housing front (this despite Emeryville creating more affordable housing than its neighboring cities).

Just when you thought people had nothing more to complain about, they complain about having too many jobs. Power to the people, baby!
