The Problem is that some of these people live there becausw they like the view of the nature. Uninterupted by some modern skyscrapers. I prefer to live in a more rural area. I accept wind turbines, because they are a nesessery if you don't won't depend on coal and nuclear energy. Now these people get some building that doesn't benefit them and isn't strictly nesessery. With the Duga Radar you could argue it's some country defenses mechanisms, which the microwave link clearly isn't.

You could also argue that losing out economically has significant impact on a nation and its people. While national financial institutions are rethinking the focus on finance as a focus of the economy, it's not by happenstance London, New York, Frankfurt, Tokyo, HK, etc. pursued being financial hubs.

They were keystones in their respective economies and thus just as integral to national physical defense.
