You mean the other businesses (not the DCs) generate more pollution and don't bring in less property tax revenue?

Pollution, ok, regular industry generates more. But property tax revenue? Why would DCs provide more property tax revenue?

In Northern Virginia data centers are about 3% of land, but account for almost 50% of local property tax contributions.
Are those regions poor or very sparsely population (or both)?
