In an interview with The Chronicle, Chris Sacca, who leads Google’s special projects, voiced frustration with what he called the city’s slow negotiating style. Sacca said that talks to come up with a final contract have advanced little since they started and that officials have made unreasonable demands, including a request for free computers and a share in revenues. “Every meeting is like the first,” he said.
