When the new jobs number increases to four (or even three) digits people will take that more seriously.

I'm concerned with the ones that create temporary jobs, few permanent ones, drive up water and electrical rates and then help deskill other industries.

How many jobs are created? And how many jobs were also lost because of AI? A few jobs created vs thousands or more lost isn't a positive.

> that brings in net new jobs

Ah yes, those invaluable tens of jobs created by DCs....

If we could magically guarantee that our [starry-eyed|gullible|treacherous] political leaders didn't give back most of those property taxes before the DC even broke ground...
