One went in 1/4 mile from my home a couple years ago. I ignored the notices of development because I thought it was far enough that it wouldn't affect me, but it blocks the view of the mountains that I used to enjoy, and sometimes I can hear noise from its cooling system (I assume).
I wish I'd known what was coming, and gone to the meetings to oppose it.
- Retric 11mo agoLarge buildings 1000 feet from you are going to have some impact, but your complaint has little to with being a data center specifically. They could have put in a large warehouse and your view gotten blocked just the same, similarly the noise from the cooling system can be managed well or poorly on any building.
- Scoundreller 11mo agousually large warehouses will appear where there’s good highway connections and lots of cheap unskilled labour. A DC might catch a lot of people “in the sticks” by surprise.

- bittercynic 11mo agoI appreciate that my view isn't the only consideration for that kind of decision, but when a new building goes up much larger than anything else in the area, and affects the skyline for thousands of people, I think that should be one of the considerations.
