That’s because that’s where the cheap land and bribeable officials are.
How many of them are build near wealthy neighborhood?
Five times fewer!
Given the noise pollution, and sometimes air pollution, as well as the water getting ruined, and the skyrocketing electric prices. Probably not many. Why would rich people put up with that if the povvos can break under it instead?
And how many people live in wealthy neighborhoods compared to poor ones?
Size of each demographic used for the statistics is in the article, approx. N=220 for each of them.

Holtzman describes himself as “a philosopher and data scientist who writes about quantitative propaganda and scientistic rhetoric,” and he often does so at his science & Power newsletter. His peer-reviewed work has been published in places like the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and The American Journal of Bioethics. He had also heard the oft-repeated suggestion that the data center protest movement was led by wealthy, NIMBY folks, so he set out to investigate. He analyzed a dataset of current and proposed data center projects alongside US census data1 and has graciously offered to share the results in an exclusive here. He came to at least three stark conclusions:
- The poorest neighborhoods resisted data centers at nearly five times the rate of the wealthiest (19.0% vs. 3.8%)
- Recently proposed data centers that faced pushback were canceled or suspended at more than five times the rate of data centers that didn’t (28.2% vs. 5.2%).
- Cancellation rates are highest in lower-income areas, a fact fully explained by their higher rates of pushback.
Send all those richies free tickets to a trump rally then squat, baby, squat!
