Reply to comment by listen_youse in Is there any way to find out what kind of subsidies/considerations Amazon received for the warehouses and half built Amazon Freshes that are sitting empty all over the state? by Happy_rich_mane

I just the question the logic from a public governance view. Why would you want a grocery chain in your local community that is almost entirely automated and tracks your biometrics and face while you’re inside.

If the buildings are in an industrial or commercial zone, then zoning laws may tie local politicians hands.

Nevermind the number of trucks doing 90% of the wear and tear on the roads (that they won't be paying for). The amount of trash that they produce. And the possibility of things like drone drops in the future.

When we have plenty of jobs and not enough housing, it makes no sense. But the city council is always falling all over themselves thinking they will get Fortune 500 money in the coffers. They never do.
