You do not want a modern datacenter near people.

Why? Datacenters have smaller effects on neighbors than other industries. No runoff like farming, no pollution like factories

Modern datacenters use local power generation that means lots of bad pollution worse than most factories. There is really bad sound pollution from many of them. They are enormous and create barriers where people should be able to move around.
