Probably for the same reasons they aren't doing mixed use prison and restaurant buildings.

What you don't want to live near the newest poisonous abomination that the whiz kids dreamt up? Do you want China to take over America or something?
Data centers don't do anything other than sit there and turn electricity into heat. They only emit nothing but heat (which could be useful to others in the building).
In America they have "temporary" jet turbines parked next to them burning gas inefficiently with limited oversight on pollution and noise because they are "temporary".
False, come up with new talking points please:

If these things were so safe the rich should build them next to their homes.

Heat and noise. The noise and the increased electrical bills are the main things people living near data centers complain about.
Mixed-use buildings with restaurants on the lower floors and residential on the upper floors are very common. Not sure what prisons have to do with anything.
