The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

We have a bridge where I currently live where this is a not uncommon occurrence. I think I was driving across one time a year or two ago seconds after one instance. Someone stopped their car, got out, jumped. The bridge is open to pedestrians and is legally used for base jumping so they don't really have anything set up to prevent it
I used to work right next to a bridge like this. They finally put up very high fencing. It cut it down quite a bit. But, there were still ways near the end to climb around it, if one was motivated.
 
The data center's opponents packed the council meeting, with public comments running 25 to 1 against the project. "We need more housing, not a data center that will take money and electricity," one speaker told the council. A New York developer had sought approval for the massive AI data center at the southwest corner of Price and Dobson Roads. The facility would have housed chips that power artificial intelligence. The building’s footprint would have been the size of seven football fields. Councilman Matt Orlando expressed skepticism about the project's business model. "I just can't get over a ‘Field of Dreams’ scenario where you build it, you hope someone will come," he said. All seven City Council members voted to reject the proposal.


Chandler is an extremely boring, safe, Mormon bedroom community. It is essentially identical to the NoVa burbs Sterling and Ashburn, which are wall-to-wall data centers. They generally welcome tech.

Word is finally getting around that crypto and AI data centers are vampire parasites of water and electricity usage, looking to socialize their externalities costs.

Hopefully within a couple years every community in the nation NIMBYS the whole con out of existence.

Has Chandler always been mormon?? decades ago, my uncle lived there and I remember visiting. Seemed like a nice, upscale hood. but he wasn't there long, as Swellvue was calling

No idea. It has a heavy presence now. Lots of LDS churches. It's very buttoned up. Reminds me of the more conservative parts of Long Island. Everybody is employed, decently if not highly educated, and... calm. Bike lanes everywhere. People are super polite. Kids don't scream in public (a very Mormon phenomenon). Not eclectic -- even the non-whites are uptight.

It is spectacularly anodyne.
 

Walz is friggin done...

Portland strippers for the win!
