    Most datacenters are not in urban communities they are in industrial zones.

    You also don’t need the consent of other people to build things on land you own. Get out of here with this shit.

      You do need consent from other people…. That’s the whole point of zoning laws…… which is half the reason why there’s a housing crisis…. I’m a real estate agent and a real estate developer and have been for two decades so I don’t need your childish little fucking opinion on shit. Always some libertarian moron trying to pretend like laws don’t exist everywhere.

        If you need the consent to build them then how are they being forced on communities without consent? You are contradicting yourself now.

        Yeah you need the consent of the council for planning permission. Not the consent of the individual people.

        I am not a libertarian either, but whatever.

          Well, you’ve kind of missed the basis of a democracy. You the individual person cast a vote for your council person, right? Usually when we have town council meetings regarding real estate development, individual people do show up and scream.

            Thinking democracy actually works and the representatives actually care about the people is very wishful thinking. From my experience they don’t and they haven’t for a long time.

            I wouldn’t know. I haven’t been to a town council meeting before.

            Would a town council even be involved in an industrial zone which might not even be part of a town?
