Who could think to develope this scenic mountain range into an industrial complex. It wouldn’t be economical to establish utility and transportation infrastructure, let alone the private cost for each facility and the cost of exporting goods. It mkght be eligible for strip mining since you can pop the top and the shit falls right into the hopper while those mountain springs carry all the tailings away for you (see appalachia).
It is much easier to establish an industrial park in a level area, preferable near navigable water. Enter wetlands and low lying coastal forests. Avatar was dead on with this. They make for the most economical places to clear/drain, pave over and exploit. Distance to the port is a major factor in profit margins and long term savings can overcome development costs in shit areas (see New Orleans). Can’t stop the work.
The forest grows out, gets fat with wood and brush and stuff, then it all dies to a fire or whatever. Something new always rises, and I’m excited for the new growth
Google and netflix and stuff will eventually push people away and people will find something new to do with their time.
The phone number is 4 digits. I realize we added area codes. I didn’t realize we had already done it once before that wet the other 3 digits.i wonder if they still have a xxx-xxx-3577 phone number floating around the company somewhere
There’s a college in Chicago, i think it’s IIT maybe, that used aerial photography to map out the student cow paths, then they redid all the sidewalks to incorporate those paths.
Edit: they ended up adding a building in a grassy area and maintained all the hall/walkways of the building in line with the sidewalks/cowpaths. Kinda neat.
