I’m not usually a NIMBY but I would 100000% vote against an AI data center near me. They destroy your water quality and make electricity 3-4x more expensive to make more AI slop.

That’s not what NIMBYism is, NIMBY and YIMBY are terms that mainly refer to housing developments, not industrial centers

Ngl not really even NIMBYism, that’s just caring for your local ecosystem

I’m a YIMBY for like public transit, clean energy, etc. Yes it might gentrify a bit and that’s kinda bad in some ways. Austin for example got a lot of the eastside black neighborhoods destroyed. But like in general, yeah. Def for it
