Data centers and the rights of the people who live in the community

This lady sums up the argument against data centers very clearly in her presentation to the local Municipal Council:

She mentions the community name once, but it happens to be a name which is used in multiple places in North America (not Springfield, but I was surprised how many "Springfields" there are in America!) so I have not tried to find out where exactly she speaks from, but I believe she speaks for many people.

I think the crux of her argument is this bit:

We don't want data centers. We don't want unregulated AI. We don't want surveillance technology. We don't want our data being stolen and used against us. We don't want our resources exhausted, our environment polluted, our bills raised, and our privacy violated for nothing. Absolutely zero community benefit.

The problem is that this thing is happening because local leaders are being rewarded for violating the will of the people. The people worried that they aren't able to get what they want.
