Why not more?

Because people live there? Nah forget it, evacuate the whole state and let nature take over under the unbounded logic of "why not more."

400 acres is basically nothing compared to the scale of an entire state. It's less than a single square mile. Ohio has more than 40,000 square miles.

> 400 acres is basically nothing

It's still something. 400 trees are still better then 1. It's more than you and I will ever own. It's lot of land which could provide so much resource we desperately need. For good rather than evil.

1 acre ~ 4848 trees - That's a lot of trees. 4848 squirrels if each squirrel had a tree each, 4848 birds.

So lets complain about the worlds state while we continue to suck resources for construction with wastage of water for cooling as electricity is funneled via fossil fuels; polluting the air we breath. Killing natural ecosystems from destroyed habitats all while causing climate changes for more for nothing other than what? You tell me. So you can run your fancy JavaScript app?

I refuse to use any operative service Amazon provides. Apart from network connectivity where I'm forced to use against my will; they're just an another evil corporate entity who cares about nothing other than money. Where's the care for their workers?

I encourage you to leave the city and get a real sense of geographic scale.

I don't live in the US, nor Ohio. Back right at you, because maybe it should be you who should leave the country and see the disasters that these types of companies are causing to the world on a global geographic scale.

Since you do not live in America, I suppose you do not know how small 400 acres is. It's only 1.6 square kilometers.

Or maybe you live in a very small and dense country. Ohio is not a large state, but it is larger than many countries and perhaps larger than yours. Otherwise I cannot fathom your perspective. Whining about 400 acres of development in America is simply absurd.

Whining about the amount of destruction this causes and the environmental impact is far from absurd. Your the one in denial.

400 acres of reserved land is and will always be a positive mark than a DC from a company that abuses the planet so someone can pollute the planet and internet with a stupid app.

Keep the insults to yourself, because your no one special yourself. Your less of anyone when you start making accusations. I live in Scotland, which tyvm has far more than 400 acres of land-free for natural use.

You are not forced to be connected to the network.

If I block AWS firewall level then I loose half of the internet from those who use AWS for their transit or those who use the provider for their sites.

I’m going to bet you’ve never been to Ohio. It’s actually pretty real, and desperately needs jobs. There’s tons of high quality nature preserves and private land, and the monoculture farmland being bought here is not that.
