Intel delays construction of a chip design center in Austin

Delayed, my <body part>!!! The local news says they have flat-out halted it. Intel got a bunch of incentives to put it here in the first place, now they're going to mothball a 6-of-10 story skeleton in the middle of the downtown area.

Previously, Intel had planned to complete the exterior shell (for appearances), then fit out the interior "at a later time." Now, it's "lock the gates and walk away."

This leaves the "Smart Growth" Mayor and Council holding the bag on a downtown eyesore.
