@PoPville blocked me. This is exactly what I mean by us virtue signaling + only permitting our own narrative/views, whilst claiming to appreciate freedom of speech, differing viewpoints, and compassion for others. Once we got in power, we started scrubbing like the gop.
This is very alarming
Housing developers are realizing that selling parcels to data center developers is far more profitable than building homes
“AI data centers aren't just using electricity and water. They're using land previously planned for homes”
- 55 homes were purchased for nearly $1 million per house and knocked down to build data centers outside of Chicago
- Amazon paid $700 million for land so they could build a data center instead of homes
- Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are spending more money on data centers than the US spent on railroads in the the interstate highway system in the 1950s, and more than the US spent on the Apollo space program
States are choosing data centers over homes. There are real examples of this
Northern Virginia is the center of this phenomenon known as Data Center Alley, even though the region has a shortage of more than 75,000 homes
I found real devastating examples of this happening:
Prince William County / Bristow, Virginia (Northern Virginia “Data Center Alley”)
The homebuilder Steve Alloy’s company was preparing to develop 516 new homes when surrounding land was rapidly bought up by Microsoft, Google, and other data center operators instead.
Nearby, the Village Place housing project entitled for 250 additional units had its land sold to a data center developer for $31 million
Stanley Martin Homes Land Flip to Amazon, Prince William County, Virginia
Residential homebuilder Stanley Martin Homes assembled 270 acres for about $51 million. They flipped most of it to Amazon for $700 million
In Suburban Chicago Illinois. Stream Data Centers bought a 55 home subdivision for nearly $1 million per home, demolished the houses, and built a 2.1 million sq ft data center campus
This must be stopped. We have starter home affordable crisis already
Kensington, Philadelphia, has been a Democratic stronghold for over 70+ years
This is what 70+ years of Democrat leadership has done to the area
Democrats hold 82% of the seats in the Philadelphia City Council
- Council President (Democrat)
- Majority Leader (Democrat)
- Majority Whip also Democrat
- Mayor is a Democrat
- District Attorney Democrat
- City Commissioners overwhelmingly Democrat
Philadelphia has been a Democrat dominated city since the early 1950s
It has literally destroyed this city. Stop voting Democrat
I urge the DC Council to immediately pass emergency legislation to restore the extended juvenile curfew in Washington, DC.
The absence of this vital tool is having a profound negative impact on both public safety and sense of safety in the District.
We cannot afford further delay.
@AnnaSpiegs@jsidman@RAMWdc@kenyanmcduffie Not good. It’s a better stance to endorse no one in this field. Schwab endorsement is utterly mind blowing. People don’t understand how anti small business he is. This is scary.
THIS IS WHERE EVERYTHING IS HEADED…
They just introduced an AI robot that can literally keep working even when parts of its body fail.
Let that sink in.
No breaks. No complaints. No days off.
Even damaged… it still gets the job done.
This isn’t “future tech”… this is happening RIGHT NOW.
How long before this replaces real workers? ⬇️ 🇺🇸
This is why young gentrifiers in major cities are so righteous and yell and scream when challenged . They are the pawns. But they’ll never see it.

DC Bureaucrats hijacked Virginia… but we will restore it.
Arlington and Alexandria were always meant to be a part of DC.
That’s why I introduced the Make DC Square Again Act, because it’s a simple concept: DC = 🟥
#News - DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, in strongly worded letter, urges Council today to revive bill allowing targeted curfews, saying they have “positive impacts” against mass “juvenile disorder.” Mayor says too often “root causes” rhetoric “is simply used … to do nothing.” @wcp
@tomsherwood@WashProbs@wcp Root causes argument s have lined political pockets and funded worthless agencies , lobbyists, nonprofits and haven’t fixed anything since forever.
Literally everyone in DC. People have been told their cult opinions matter. And that they aren’t racist. I suppose they do matter because they vote and gerrymander their world views on cities. https://t.co/KmROsdDzKG
Great work. Still can't believe @charlesallen and the @councilofdc legalized fare evasion and thought everything would be OK. Not every fare evader is a criminal, but every crime on WMATA is committed by a fare evader.
