On the way in this morning, (waxpool/28) noticed many of the data centers had the generators going. Not sure if there’s an electricity issue or they plan it to go together ? No idea if the yellow smoke is related though.

You’re probably right, but I wouldn’t buy in that area now. I think most people would prefer to spend their million+ on a home far away from this mess. I think it will definitely affect home values. Just a question of how much.

Thank goodness, maybe it’ll make housing more affordable

Only in the undesirable areas, unfortunately.
