  1. You didn't jump the fence to get us a better shot? Where's your dedication?!
  2. Grant could be a nice little corridor from Columbus State to NCH here in a few years.
  3. We need to keep in mind that around the same time that the Intel plant will be opening, so will the new Ohio State hospital, many new buildings in the Innovation District, as well as the new Nationwide Children's hospital tower. There's going to be an insane influx of people mid decade.
  4. Yep. Intel openly mentioned the regulatory environment was the deciding factor, even over another location that offered more incentives.
  5. Intel is already announcing partners that will establish a physical presence, with more expected to come: In addition to Intel’s presence in Ohio, the investment is expected to attract dozens of ecosystem partners and suppliers needed to provide local support for Intel’s operations – from semiconductor equipment and materials suppliers to a range of service providers. Investments made by these suppliers will not only benefit Ohio but will have a significant economic impact on the broader U.S. semiconductor ecosystem. As part of today’s announcement, Air Products, Applied Materials, LAM Research and Ultra Clean Technology have indicated plans to establish a physical presence in the region to support the buildout of the site, with more companies expected in the future. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/intel-announces-next-us-site-landmark-investment-ohio.html
  6. Seems like state officials are slow playing the public records request:
  7. So, I'm not the only one that has been repeatedly refreshing this page for new news? Good.
  8. Which bookstore? Sounds like something I'd like to check out, as well.
  9. I don't think you had to remove your whole post. I imagine ColDayMan had already edited to make it ok. You can post excerpts from the article, just not copy and paste it all.
  10. I'm not sure why, but I find it comical seeing those vacuums butted up so close to the new building.
  11. Yea, there is some major data cherry picking in both of their posts
  12. Ah. Ok. Was trying to get an idea of what this meant for timeline.
  13. What exactly does this mean?
  14. At this pace, it seems they will have no problem at all hitting that number.
  15. They will have a downtown view of the 30 story tower
  16. Is it possible that we would be lagging even more if not for the TIFs?
  17. So, there's one on there where the applicant is listed as Franklinton Apartments with a Broad St address. Is that not the 15 story tower?
  18. The work going on to the east of the ASC is for the new parking garage. Is that parking garage going to be fronting Livingston?
  19. You must be one of those "geriatric millennials" I've seen articles about.
  20. For somebody that claims not to use income to determine the "worth" of people, you certainly bring up income to determine the "worth" of people quite often. A quick google search for me showed hilariously low numbers, and even projections out to 10-15 years into career were not at that. I also believe you've already lowered your amount from $89k to $83k since you first posted, so you must have also realized that was a bit high. That being said, even if you are right, what does it matter? I'm talking about "benefit to society", not income. I never once mentioned a comparison in income between those professions. Jake Paul makes more than your average doctor by making stupid youtube videos and now fake boxing matches. Are you going to tell me society would be better off with more Logan Pauls over doctors simply because they have more income? How often do you see government pushes to encourage people to get gender studies degrees over STEM degrees? You continue to mention this "folks with a choice" argument as a way to say you aren't using income to determine the "worth" of a move. I don't disagree with your premise that "folks with a choice" may tend to be higher income or have more education. But, in the case of our discussion on Texas, we are talking about people that have already moved. So, their "likelihood to move" is irrelevant in that discussion. Regardless of their income, they clearly were "folks with a choice", were likely to move, and chose Texas. Pointing out their income after the fact is nothing more than an attempt to devalue that move that already happened, whether you will ever admit it or not. We will never see eye to eye on this, so we will continue going round and round.
  21. Ok. I'm actually a bit confused because there's actually a large amount of work being done on the parking lot just to the east of number 1 in this diagram, in front of the Behavioral Pavilion. I thought that's what you were talking about, but this diagram doesn't have anything there. The area for building 1 is currently fenced off and those parking lots to the east are currently being torn up.
  22. I had noticed the movement on that side, as well, but I wasn't sure what it was for. I don't remember ever hearing anything about this building.
  23. As far as people moving to Texas being mostly retirees, I will definitely need to look into that a bit more, as that would be news to me. As far as the "low income worker" argument, you've brought this up before and, still, I think this is a bit weird. You seem to be putting a "worth" on people moving to states and low income workers don't count as much in your opinion? This is curious to me as this argument seems to only come up as a hit against rapidly growing red states but people on UO gush when Ohio brings in low income refugees from other countries because it is increasing our population, despite their economic "worth." Do you have this same "low income" pushback in those conversations? This seems to be just another inconsistency in the arguments of people on here. As for your data on degrees, I'm not sure how that is relevant in a discussion on population migration and nothing more than a weird d*ck swinging contest. Also, I think it's a bad metric without any other context when determining the "success" of an area. An electrician that has done years of trade school won't show up in your metric, but a person with a gender studies degree working in a coffee shop will. Not all bachelor's degrees are equal and not all "good" careers require them.
