[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's out in Ashburn. Now we can't build data centers out in the exurbs?[/quote]

Not sure Ashburn is an exurb and if it was, why would this matter? People live in these places, and their lives are no less important than yours.

I really don’t want them built anywhere because they are a huge resource suck no matter where they are built and they are ruining peoples’ way of life (and probably all of our livelihoods).

I am lucky I live in Fairfax county where it is already very filled in and there are no data centers very close to my house, though it looks like they are building one across from my kid’s school. Hopefully our county government doesn’t get any big ideas and start selling park land.[/quote]

120 years ago, PP was really upset about the Model T, because all of the buggy whip manufacturers would be put our of business.  [/quote]

Hey now, I love cars. But I cannot deny that they have huge environmental and social costs. Not because of buggy whip manufacturers, but because now we have a society where in most places, in order to fully participate, you pretty much have to have a car, and buying and maintaining one is a huge cost. Just another way of keeping us tethered to the machine, I guess.[/quote]
