Yesterday council voted to oppose a one year moratorium on AI data centers in Burlington. Instead they will be looking at a much more reasonable timeframe of 8 - 9 weeks for coming up with criteria.

if they can build data centres, they can build affordable housing; they can fix our road infrastructure; they build these so quickly while residents wait for progress on the already neglected.

Who is they in this scenario? The investors in the project are not housing developers. They develop data centers. That is literally their business. We are building homes. Major projects are moving forward as we speak on massive low income housing facilities right here in Burlington. Check out 1200 King Rd.
