Yes, absolutely. Easy to turn viable farmland to bullshit data center, almost impossible to do the former. The datacenter boom causes us to act against our collective interests.
Cities would rather pollute a new parcel of land than fix the contamined ones.
There is a city nearby that has an abandoned industrial district and they plan on building a new industrial district instead of razing the old one and decontaminate it.
And shocker, they want to make the new district on farm land.
