Someone ought to tell the voters who supported all the anti data center propositions and politicians that they're wrong and just imagining it not being handled well.

In seriousness this is an example of the previous point. Rather than engaging with the issue the tech/DC industry seems to think they can wordplay their way out of it by quibbling about irrelevant technical details and people are primed to get extremely angry at grinfucking type behaviour nowadays.

Yes, voters are very frequently wrong and support lots of policies that end up hurting everyone, such as rent controls.

What a bizarre non-sequitir. Rent controls don't work so "the voters are voting wrong"
