I'm not the one making fiery speeches against the proles exercising their first amendment rights to prevent buildout of infrastructure that will likely harm their communities.

I'm also not cynically and deceptively lumping "data centers" into the same category as "day care, or apartment buildings, or coffee shops." Think of the children! Think of the hipsters!!

I think it's telling that you think apartment buildings are easier to get through permitting processes than data centers. There are in fact multiple overlapping sets of laws in force specifically to prevent the construction of apartments, which generally have to be done (or rather not done) under variance.
