While the story lends its focus to low income and minority areas, it’s not necessarily needed. Amazon is a boa constrictor regardless. - Qale Dec 9, 09:35

The article talks about low income areaa, but many of the the houses in the picture have solar panels. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 09:16
Warehouses have to be setup somewhere like stores. Not surprised they try to locate less-costly real estate for them. San Bernardino perfect example vs A-level Real Estate near Downtown LA -- nm* - budice Dec 9, 09:15 5
- San Berdoo has a shut down military base with lots of warehouses, cheaper rents for displaced LA orange county residents -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 11:17
- Call me naive, but wouldn't that result in a large number of jobs located nearby? - Baron Please Come Home Dec 9, 09:36 3
  - Some jobs. Warehousing isn't typically highly staffed. Also, more and more is automated. -- nm - VMan Dec 9, 09:38 2
    - Also, workers can come from anywhere because cars exist. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 9, 09:40 1
      - Add to that, the infrastructure (roads) required to handle all the trucks means even easier access for cars. -- nm - VMan Dec 9, 09:44
