Amazon Buys Recology Site in SF for $200 Million, Scuttles Plan to Make it Housing
亚马逊斥资2亿美元收购位于旧金山的Recology，Scuttles计划将其改造成住宅
Recology just sold its 900 7th Street waste maintenance facility to Amazon, who plan to make it a six-acre distribution facility in San Francisco.
Recology刚刚把第七街900号的垃圾维护设施卖给了亚马逊(Amazon)，后者计划在旧金山将其建成一个六英亩的配送设施。
E-commerce giant and aspiring surveillance menace Amazon is considered more of a Seattle company than a Silicon Valley company, but does actually have a significant footprint in the Bay Area. The Chronicle reported last year that Amazon has “more high-paying Amazon jobs than anywhere besides Seattle,” with 7,000 office workers in SF, Palo Alto, and East Palo Alto, and god-knows-how-many delivery and warehouse workers. Amazon also owns SF-based streaming/gamer thingy Twitch, which has another 1,500 employees. Now Amazon hopes for an even bigger Bay Area presence, as the Chronicle reports this morning that Amazon has bought a six-acre Recology facility for $200 million, with hopes of turning what is currently a waste management facility into a delivery warehouse site.
人们认为亚马逊更像是一家西雅图公司，而不是硅谷，但它在湾区的影响力确实很大。《旧金山纪事报》去年报道称，亚马逊拥有“除西雅图以外的任何地方高薪职位”，旧金山、帕洛阿尔托和东帕洛阿尔托有7000名办公室职员，天知道有多少快递和仓库工人。亚马逊还拥有基于sf的流媒体/玩家thingy Twitch，该公司拥有另外1500名员工。如今，亚马逊希望在旧金山湾区拥有更大的影响力。《旧金山纪事报》(Chronicle)今天早上报道称，亚马逊斥资2亿美元买下了一处占地6英亩的Recology设施，希望将目前的废物管理设施改造成一个配送仓库。
Amazon’s plan would of course need to clear state and local regulatory hurdles, so permit expediters citywide are surely licking their chops over this news.
亚马逊的计划当然需要清除州和地方的监管障碍，因此全市范围内的监管人员肯定对这一消息垂涎三尺。
As Socketsite explains, with far better maps than the one above, the site is at 7th and Berry Streets across from the southern tip of Mission Bay. A previous plan to put 1,000 units of housing on top of office and warehouse space is now scrapped, and Amazon’s plans for height (57 feet) and use (PDR, or Production, Distribution and Repair) are completely within the neighborhood’s zoning rules. And honestly, San Francisco probably needs jobs more than it needs housing at this particular moment.
正如Socketsite所解释的，该地点位于Mission Bay南端的第七街和Berry街对面，位置绝佳。亚马逊之前计划在办公和仓库的顶部建造1000套住房，现在这个计划被废弃了，亚马逊的高度(57英尺)和使用(PDR，或生产、分配和维修)计划完全在该社区的分区规则之内。老实说，在这个特殊的时刻，旧金山可能更需要就业而不是住房。
“We are excited to make this investment in San Francisco that will create jobs and help ensure we can reliably and efficiently deliver to our growing number of customers in the Bay Area,” Amazon director of operations Michelle Godwin-Watts said in a statement to the San Francisco Business Times. “We are committed to being a good community partner and we will continue to engage with the city and community members as we develop this new site.”
亚马逊运营总监米歇尔·戈德温·沃茨(Michelle Godwin-Watts)在给《旧金山商业时报》的一份声明中表示:“我们很高兴在旧金山进行投资，这将创造就业机会，并有助于确保我们能够可靠、高效地为湾区不断增长的客户提供服务。”“我们致力于成为一个好的社区合作伙伴，在开发这个新站点的过程中，我们将继续与城市和社区成员保持联系。”
The new delivery center may mean more Amazon trucks on our city streets, which may become the new tech buses that are enduring symbols of income inequality and techsploitation. Amazon’s ruinous effect on small business is well-documented, and the COVID-19 track record with its Whole Foods subsidiary is nothing to be proud of. SF Public Press just uncovered more creepy Ring camera public surveillance plans afoot in the Mission, and the company is testing its self-driving taxis in SF, which may not end well. But the SF Board of Supervisors has not been an Amazon pushover the way some municipalities have, so City Hall may get their proper pound of flesh out of the company before permits and approvals are issued.
新的配送中心可能意味着更多的亚马逊卡车会出现在我们城市的街道上，这些卡车可能会成为新的科技巴士，成为收入不平等和科技剥削的持久象征。亚马逊对小企业的毁灭性影响有目皆知，而其Whole Foods子公司的COVID-19记录也不值得骄傲。SF公共媒体刚刚披露了更多令人毛骨悚然的环形摄像头公共监控计划，该公司正在SF测试其自动驾驶出租车，这可能不会有好结果。但是旧金山监事会并没有像一些市政当局那样对亚马逊施加压力，所以市政府可能会在许可和批准发放之前，从亚马逊那里得到他们应得的权利。
And it is nice, in this economy, to see a tech company that really wants to be in San Francisco, instead of throwing hissy fits and moving to Texas when not given carte blanche on tax breaks and regulatory carve-outs.
在这样的经济形势下，能看到一家科技公司真心希望留在旧金山，而不是在税收减免和监管豁免方面没有自主权的情况下，一怒之下搬到德克萨斯州。
