At a prior job we had our data centers in the building in that neighborhood. Because it had grown up with the computers down the hall and then down the elevator it was hard to sell upper management on moving to a real data center.

What finally made the case was multiple summer power outages because con ed couldn't tell us how much power was actually possible to be drawn in the neighborhood. Between theaters turning up stage lights a couple of times a day, companies with data centers etc. It turns out that con ed has just run wires for a long time where requested without an overall tally of what the peak draw could be. This event was predictable, and if con ed or the city doesn't actually count the peak possible capacity going to each customer and make sure it can provide that, power outages in that neighborhood will continue to happen going forward.
