Why did one squeak by?

Ryan Danner•4 weeks ago This seems like an insult drafting this after the Mayor has used the almighty power of a variance to grant a conditional use permit to a data center already. What teeth does this have when the mayor is just allowed to do as they please when the price tag is juicy enough? Can we put in some binding restrictions and penalties with some teeth to punish the businesses and spiky hair executive in the mayor's office who don't understand when they are being sweet talked by business interests? Is has been shown numerous times over the years that big business can't be trusted to hold up its end of the deal with the city. We need actual enforcement with teeth on our rules.

Data centers are a bad deal for St. Louis

Ryan Danner•8 months ago Allowing data centers into the city is about as smart as taking a payday loan. They don't pay off in the long run and taking those kinds of deals has contributed greatly to the decline of the city's population. They shouldn't be allowed to be located inside city limits. We don't ever get to expand our boundaries again, and if we want to grow our populations we need to make the land we have a desirable place to live. Big warehouses that employ less than 100 people don't make people want to live here.
