Amazon is walking away from data centers on the GWU campus in Ashburn and donating 25 acres to Loudoun, while the county delays its data-center pause vote to November 17. Housing starts fell to their lowest level since May. Fairfax County is turning old office parks near I-66 and Route 50 into townhouses and apartments. Plus Worth It Wednesday: in a market with 50% more condos and townhomes for sale, which upgrades actually pay you back? A true story about protecting a family home for the next generation, and why this show breaks Seinfeld’s golden rule.
