>Very little can be done about it. It's private land, zoned commercial
Maybe stop zoning productive farmland as commercial/light industrial?

>More farmland could be put in preservation, but that requires us to pay more taxes.
Would it?

Why not both?

I was thankful to get out of the York and Harrisburg area when I did. There are so many freaking warehouses. It's crazy. But population and industry growth that I saw in 15 years was way more than the area could handle. Every piece of farmland was being sold either for a warehouse or a development and the highways were not growing at all to accommodate it. I understand the need for jobs in certain areas, but when they put up a warehouse and all it does is cause people to move to the area, it may not actually do much to help those already living there.

From Lehigh Valley, now live in Kutztown. I think warehouse construction is a bubble ready to pop. Too bad Dutch Springs lost the waterpark and open scuba to warehouse development, but glad Stu made 16 million plus off the sale.
Kutztown is insulated where the farms are owned by Mennonites. That's their family trust fund, wrapped up in tradition. They aren't selling.

Conservatives are leaving the state for down south or nearby Ohio/WV. It was bound to happen. Unless there's a major scandal, an economic crash rivaling or exceeding 2008 occurs, or if Kamala vs a non-MAGA, I expect PA to remain blue for 2024.

Bobby Martrich supports the idea of a delayed Spring, followed by instant Summer.

We are well into late stage capitalism and I fear there is no going back. They will slash and burn every wooded area, top cut mountains for mining, and turn every open field into a development until there is no more money to be made and we are done as a species.

You can sit out the election.
Voting for an independent isn't throwing away your vote if you know you did the right thing, and if they align with your policies more than the other 2 parties.

I guess vaping wasn't such an issue anywhere else then. They only raised the age to 21 because it was a national issue but Ill alert Congress they were misinformed.

You should learn what the word "anecdotal" means.

His education surely didn’t lead him to a better excuse.

They build dozens of them in the Lehigh valley and half of them are unoccupied so what's the point

Same in Center City Philadelphia. I had to do a double take when I noticed the leaves stretching out of the ground.

> I want them to build as many warehouses as they can in the old industrial parts of Philadelphia near the highways.
Honestly, I don't think they can get enough people hired from the surrounding neighborhoods that would reliably show up for work real early in the morning and not high.
And that's in addition to all the other usual "problems", like the cost to put up a warehouse using city union labor is significantly more expensive.

Yes. What's even more hilarious is thinking any one of those people was an "average Joe".

Seriously. The mornings are already starting to feel like early spring mornings, well before the sun is even up.
It’s probably gonna be like the last 5 years or whatever when we get a blizzard at the very end of March/early April. Ugh.

It is not good. There was a huge warehouse built in York County that destroyed an entire forest. It is sad.
