      Golly. Why would Facebook think to build a data center in a desert just across the freeway from the NSA data center? 🤔https://twitter.com/sweis/status/1001870099635032066 …

      I hate to defend facebook, but it makes economic sense. The NSA already paid to run electricity and fiber out to the middle of nowhere and they're taking advantage of the cheap land and high bandwidth.

      NSA is not technically in middle of nowhere. It's between two somewheres: SLC (livable even for non-Mormons) and Provo (full of compliant linguists), on the same side of the freeway. I haven't been to UT in years, but this is on the other side of the freeway, more nowheresish

      Lots of growth in this part of Utah. Both NSA and proposed building site for Facebook are West if I-15 freeway and Utah Lake.pic.twitter.com/fi3oAW72wj

      Ah, thanks. I've always thought it was under the hang gliding site. I stand corrected.

      Hangliding area is being taken over by housing and concrete processing operations. It’s just East of NSA and I-15. It’s amazing how much it has changed.

      Like I said, I haven't been for years. Prolly would hate it now. Hated Denver on a recent visit, on account of the traffic. Well. Not hate. Just ... unhappy.

      I enjoyed it more before all the growth. It’s getting much too crowded for my liking.

      I lived there in the 90s. Even then everyone hated the growth.

      Constant complaint, I guess. Did you live in Utah or Salt Lake County?

          Sugarhouse is nice. They’re going through a huge transformation right now. Lots of apartment housing and new business development. The old Shopko mall area by Sugarhouse Park has been torn down and is being replaced.

          I had a tiny little bungalow that I was about the only person in UT who could live in it. It was nice!

          Sugarhouse has its fair share of little old homes. It gives it a nice quaint atmosphere.
