> Cities and counties can charge a high property tax to data centers and the residents can benefit.

My city has had issues with data centers since prior to the whole LLM craze.

The reason? They gave them tax breaks, and later on the town discovered they employ almost nobody. For the amount of land they took up, they give very little back to the community - both in taxes and in employment. It's understandable that residents would prefer the land be used for just about anything else. Even a pollution generating plant.
