Maybe, maybe not. Those tell me about Ohio in general, not the area the parent commenter is talking about. Either way, I'd be inclined to ask the people who live there what they want, not prescribe "development and jobs" from my ivory tower while insulting them.
My point is that you're making a pretty absurd false dichotomy. It's either "unemployment and opiate addicts", or having your quiet rural home paved over? Those are the only two choices?

They should do as their betters tell them. Edit: By the way, the original commenter clarified that he's talking about New Albany. Not a struggling area by any means.
- rotten 4y agoNew Albany is very affluent. My nearest 3 neighbors are all doctors.
- renewedrebecca 4y agoYou really have no idea what you're talking about. That part of Ohio isn't exactly underdeveloped. If we were talking about parts of Southern Ohio, then sure, but New Albany? No, that's not where the overdoses are happening.
