Google Ordered to Move Barge in San Francisco
It doesn't have the right permits
Google must move its mystery barge from a construction site on Treasure Island because the permits are not in order, a state official said Monday.
The notice came after the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission investigated numerous complaints about the construction of the floating, four-story building, commission Executive Director Larry Goldzband said.
The investigation found that neither the Treasure Island Development Authority nor the city of San Francisco had applied for required permits for the work to be done at the site.
Goldzband said Google can resolve the issue by moving the barge to one of the fully permitted construction facilities in the San Francisco Bay.

Google is not going to take any anti-government stance; they'll move it where the thugs want it.
Eventually send it to drift through the Pacific. Pick up refugees in asia, drop the ones that survive on a swath from Alaska to Baja.
That barge is full of surveillance equipment because
Google plays ball with the NSA.
