I'd want to know how that 71% compares to other things; like housing, parks, prisons, or factories; to get a general floor of NIMBY-ness.

But data centers are easy to hate on. They don't provide a lot of jobs, other than initial construction. And being close to a data center has no benefit compared to being far away from a data center.

they have all this money, they can afford adhering to stricter requirements
