Amazon is "investing" $20 billion in data centers to create around 1000 jobs. What sort of investment is this? $16 million for one job (minus all the jobs the data centers will automate away). If the state is putting literally any money into this it's theft.

Jeff Bezos once mourned Jamal Khashoggi in public—now the Amazon billionaire is making billion-dollar deals with his executioner, which reveals more about his values than any vigil ever could.

This article shamefully misses the point.
We can have greenfield development that provides tons of housing AND is not a sprawl development pattern. Thats far better for municipalities fiscally, and far better for human beings and the planet. So why isn't that an option mentioned here?

Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.
America Needs More Sprawl to Fix Its Housing Crisis
The word has become an epithet for garish, reckless growth — but to fix the housing crisis, the country needs more of it.

Spring is starting to arrive in #Pittsburgh and as always the North Shore is one of the first places to see some blossoms. This morning they looked incredible glowing in the early sunlight, and I think my favorite is the one of the shadow of the trees.
