This line of thinking is about ten years too late for Detroit. At this point, I don't think the city even has the resources to manage its decline. They're struggling just to keep the whole city from going up in flames.

$86,000,000 / 480 units = $179,000/unit ?! Sounds like someone is getting ripped off. My guess it's the government with the low income housing tax credit.

I am non-faculty/research staff at a state school in the US. I agree. Faculty positions get cut or shifted to adjuncts and lecturers while managers who spend most of their time managing other managers keep getting their 5%.

I don't think that is really their concern. Even if Oracle comes out on top in benchmarks they lose. "We're spending how much to get a x% performance increase?" Once numbers are attached a rational decision can be made come buying decision

Except it does nothing to protect Oracle. The cost is so inconsequential somebody is going to provide hosting. All they achieved was a couple days (hours?) of hassle for the pgsql people and pissing off some devs. Zero competitive advantage
