Good for them, I guess, but their super Walmarts do the opposite for towns all over the country.

Eat shit, Walton family.

They have a nice museum out there too. Good art exhibits.

There was an IBM campus like this near where I used to live. It was great for getting from their campus to city hall, and the few apartments between, amazing separated bike lanes that also served as road quieting. to get anywhere else you'd have to ride in a bike gutter through a 80kph stroad. I still biked because I'm a madman, but for the most part those bike lanes were justifiably deserted.
