Our major products in the region are all data center power and industrial equipment, which are going to now go from growth to severely shrinking and no reason to grow in a region. We will not allow any tech companies that require onsite small data centers to develop in.

It’s an interesting idea. But not sure there are many such buildings downtown with a loading dock.

Genuinely curious whether any of the old downtown buildings could ever work as a big shared workshop for engineers and makers, with real power and a loading dock. Does anyone ever pitch that, or is it all offices and condos?

Super shoutout to the 5000 people working for the AP tonight, going to local election offices, waiting for results to be posted and filing stories so Americans can know in a timely manner who they picked to lead. It’s a beautiful thing. 🇺🇸
