It almost looks mesmerising at this scale
Crazy how nature do dat
I’m 50+ and have never seen a Costco in the wild.
Where do you live? And do you never travel? It’s so odd to never see a Costco.
except its going to be a giant datacenter instead.
Cars bigger than houses. Gas pavilions as tall as a skyscrapers. Is this heaven?
Breathtaking
Closer view.
ah yes, the documentary idiocracy
At this point they should build a second floor in the Costco to save some horizontal space
I thought that was the joke. I saw Costco, in a news story, was building 2 stories where the top is Residential zoning. This is the internet so it could’ve been fake but it sounded like a good idea to have mixed housing. My apartment would only have Kirkland products if I didn’t have to go anywhere
I’ve long yearned to see dead malls turned into mixed zoning areas. Turn a section into cheap studio apartments, slap in a grocery store, basically make a micro-city. I’m at the point in my life where I need my own space, but when I was a young 20 something, not having to get in my car to go places would have been a fucking godsend.
Also because it is my mission to shill Kirkland whenever I can, their granola bars are insane value for price. 64 for like 9 bucks. 100 calories, low sugar, very damn tasty. The dishwasher pods suck ass though, don’t get those. Residue for days.
The best part are the trash fires.
Welcome to Costco I love you
I got my lawyers degree from Costco.
This Idiocracy Prequel looks low effort.
But The Sequel is AMAZING.
lets get a starbucks from costco. There isn’t time to get a handjob dufus
Don’t worry scro, plenty of tards are living kick ass lives. My first wife is tarded, and she’s a pilot.
They’ll need a public transport system. Not for anything as un-American as bringing the carless to Costco, but for the motorists who lucked out and had to park in the outer reaches of the car park.
Or they could just make the aisles between the shelves wider and make the whole thing drive-in

Yes!
What I see lacking is a dedicated way to get all the trucks and trains in for the supply chain.
we put that all underground. Can’t have the modern day consumer seeing how the sausage is made.
That actually makes sense. At least to explain the picture. If you’re going to concrete over the whole bay, an underground rail system is easy.
I’m wondering what happens to all the shipping once the Oakland port is paved.
That stuff all gets moved to the Costco loading dock (not pictured)
I do love Costco though
I was gonna say, of all the big chains in America, Costco at least seems to try and be half decent to its customers and staff
It’s a good place to work and takes pretty good care of its employees including good wages.
What really drives it home for me is the nametags. They say “employee since (year)” and I’ve seen a ff of people who have been there for 15-20 years. Meanwhile, find me anyone who has worked at McDonald’s for more than one year and hasn’t given up on life.
How much fresh water did you waste making this slop
Water? Like out the toilet?
Someone played SimCity on datura.
the cousin of datura, mandrake.
Why is the key useless?

Need to add some Waymos to pick up customers from their parking spots and take them to the building entrance and back.
Light rail.
NO, TRAINS ARE SOCIALIST!! The path-bound vehicle must have tires, not rails, or it will somehow help the poor!!
What if the rail is powered by burning trash?
But but I don’t have a membership!!!
Costco membership will be added as a Constitutional right
Oh sweet, I have the right to purchase a mandatory membership
It’s not only your right, it’s every patriot’s responsibility
A public-option retail store sounds awesome actually. Imagine all the basic necessities produced and sold at cost: staple foods, simple clothes, basic housewares, etc.
Woah you do have a point actually. Although afaik, being commodities, the margins in those markets are already quite small as is
Even slim margins add up, and basic commodity retail is borderline rent-seeking. Stocking soap because people buy soap isn’t really adding any value.
Stocking fancy soaps, scented soaps, extra delicate soaps, soaps with fun designs, etc. adds some value either through the production of differentiated products or through deliberately curating a selection of differentiated products. But just selling regular soap isn’t really a problem suited for the greater market.
