"I keep coming back to this graph because it’s so eye-popping, almost impossible to believe. As you see in the legend, the blue line is data centers. The grey line is everything else. Everything else. Commercial properties. Rental properties. Single family homes. Multiple family homes. Pick your preferred flavor of development, NIMBY, YIMBY, urban, rural, it’s in there. You basically have rapid data center growth and everything else contracting."

@jalefkowit JFC, that graph is economically terrifying.
Starting a new political party on the platform "Homes For People Before Homes For GPUs"
@jalefkowit what about a party for gamers, a home and a gpu for every player
@jalefkowit As a civilization we appear to have picked machines over humanity.

@SnoopJ If your money is in data centers, sure 😆
@jalefkowit reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunkers_in_Albania "The bunkerisation programme was a massive drain on Albania's weak economy. [...] The programme diverted resources away from other forms of development, such as roads and residential buildings. On average, they are said to have each cost the equivalent of a two-room apartment and the resources used to build them could easily have resolved Albania's chronic shortage of housing."
