You Get Nothing: Google Abandons Building 15,000 Homes In San Francisco

The complete and total destruction of San Francisco and the surrounding area, consisting of streets overrun by drug addicts and corporations and retail establishments simply giving up on the city, is almost finished. Thanks, liberals!

The latest chapter in the once great city's demise came this week when Google pulled out of a $15 billion investment in Santa Clara County that would have built 15,000 homes, according to Gizmodo.

The report notes that Google and Lendlease have jointly terminated their $15 billion deal, originally struck in 2019, to develop housing and commercial spaces in Sunnyvale, San Jose, and Mountain View, the latter being the home base for the tech giant.

The 'Downtown West' project in San Jose was set to feature 4,000 affordable housing units, sufficient office space for 20,000 workers, a 300-room hotel, and 10 parks. Instead, San Francisco now "gets nothing".

Google has pulled out building housing in San Jose.

The project's progress was halted in April during the demolition stage, leaving its future uncertain and potentially becoming a blight on the San Jose landscape at a time when economic injections are sorely needed.

Compounding the issue, the San Jose Spotlight has highlighted that opioid overdoses in San Jose have seen a threefold increase since 2018.

Yeah.  It's a blight.  I'd rather live in old Rio de Janeiro, extreme wealth alongside extreme poverty.

I can't even watch movies/tv-shows about San Francisco anymore, without feeling like I'm wasting precious time.

It looks like at least one problem is correcting itself  :thatsright:
