October 5 news in Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, Google has seen a rapid expansion of its corporate size in recent years, which can be described as a mixture of blessings and curses for the city of Mountain View in Santa Clara County, California, where the company is headquartered. Although Google has laid out free wireless networks for the community and donated a mobile library worth $200,000, some residents complained that Google has brought serious traffic congestion problems. After the company moved in, house prices soared and many small companies or middle-class families were forced to move, drawing quite a few voices opposing Google.
