Jacob Barss-Bailey @jacob.barss-bailey.org · 22/09/2026the article mentions hillborough as wealthy but that's really underselling it: its one of the wealthiest towns in the entire country. those group houses are all $15-25M mansions and the impunity that comes from wealth is a big part of why they're still operating. 11378

Jacob Barss-Bailey @jacob.barss-bailey.org · 21/09/2026this sort of approach is essentially the whole reason why japan is packed with tiny niche businesses.

Jacob Barss-Bailey @jacob.barss-bailey.org · 15/09/2026Global pollution-haven logic doesn't really hold for data centers. Offshorable AI use cases are shrinking, countries with actual capacity have similar opposition, and even w/ widespread pushback there's a lot of domestic options.
