data centres are *much* bigger in reality, also they create a lot of pollution, none of which is shown here on the other hand you don't include how infrastructure built underneath land usually becomes a part of the land's title and lasts forever (negatively affecting property value)

also the post was more intended as social commentary on how in the U.S. and abroad, city, state and federal governments will ignore the will of constituents when it directly benefits the ultra wealthy but will actively use stall tactics when it's something that benefits the community like trains
