Leading cloud providers have signed 2.1 GW of U.S. #datacenter space this quarter for AI purposes, enough wattage to power 1.6M homes for a year. Jacob Albers provides insight into the considerations for location strategy in this latest edition of C&W: Behind The Numbers #cwbtn

The Christmas discourse I’m ready to restart is extravagant praise for the manifold technical competence of Muppet Christmas Carol.

@jasonrweed @wpbeginner The good old days.

[Conor Sen @conorsen]

The vacancy rate for industrial real estate is still really low, in part because retailers have accumulated excess inventories over the past 6 months: https://t.co/4B2YbV6RnL

@jdlessard13 @beckywflyhair Yes! This was my youngest’s favorite for a good year, and I enjoyed reading it every time.

[David C. Smith @dcs_3]

My absolute favorite when I was a kid.

[David C. Smith @dcs_3]

@beckywflyhair Was he surprised by the ending?

[David C. Smith @dcs_3]

@richvillodas Same.

[David C. Smith @dcs_3]

I didn’t realize I grew up in the demilitarized zone of lightning bug / firefly name conventions (Northern NJ). I do recall being familiar with both terms, so I guess that makes sense.

[Union Tpke @Union_Tpke]

I didn't realize that calling them fireflies was mostly a western U.S. thing. That is what I call them. https://t.co/ZItG89Y7JJ

@rcmiller510 @esaagar Rob, you aren’t throwing back four drinks a day during forecast season?!?

[David C. Smith @dcs_3]

@JeffMSMlTH Yeah, I could’ve been born closer to the Hoover inauguration than the Biden one.

[David C. Smith @dcs_3]

Never felt older.

[Rebecca Rockey @beckywflyhair]

Except "many" is not true. Nationally, 50% of vacancy is in 5% of buildings and 80% in 15% respectively. *Most* buildings are just fine. #office #cre #realestate

[David C. Smith @dcs_3]

Some space gets repurposed into other uses. And, lots of office jobs growth creates new demand for workspace over the next decade. (Oh, and flexible office probably grows in demand too.)

[David C. Smith @dcs_3]

What happens to all that office space? It varies. High quality space continues to be in demand. Used to bring people together, to be productive with colleagues, to build culture and connection.

.@dcs_3 tells @lucasmearian of @Computerworld there is not a "one-size-fits-all" solution for occupiers today: https://t.co/h9jW4lSKGh #CRE #office #officespace

Want a FREE tree for your front yard from @TreesAtlanta ?

Now is the time to put in your request for those in the City of Atlanta (and several other local cities as well)

@beckywflyhair @rcmiller510 @Bitner_speaks @tenantsrightsla Seems like it lacks any scarcity, which is required for it to retain and increase in value. You can “build” something that people want but it is likely to be a fad and there is no limit to new entrants. There is no cost to “move.” I, too, could be missing something, of course.

#CPI #inflation down due to #energy, primarily. Food/#housing continues to go up. Supply chains/reopening down. August could see another month of energy declines - #gas #prices are finally under $4 in #NOVA...(not saying this will last but could help the next CPI report).
