Huh? The site they built on wasn't green field, they purchased previously constructed commercial real estate, knocked it down, and then built up their new campus. Look at this image: http://i.imgur.com/lzAbM0R.jpg
Please explain to us how the old use of the space was used by the community? All I see are commercial buildings and car parks. Because to me it seems like what Apple are doing with it (e.g. planting trees) will be far better for the local area than what was there previously.
The ironic thing is that you likely only posted this because Apple called it a "park" and has planted a ton of greenery. You assumed it was a green field site before without checking, and claimed Apple stole it "from the community." If anything Apple has improved the local area dramatically with this development, they've added a park, not stole one.
