My city council was fine with the data center. Then the citizens brought a guillotine to the proceedings, and they had second thoughts.
At least something made them reconsider. Land zoned for housing development near where I live just got abandoned after multiple years owned by some shitheads who were suing the local government for not allowing them to turn it into a ground shipping hub in the middle of miles of residential land (broken up with the occasional school and strip mall type businesses), only for the land to be picked up by a group trying to build a data center claiming it would bring significant jobs to the area.
I've been to a few data centers for work. Job hubs they ain't.
