A lot of residents are very frustrated with current and potential AI data centers being planted in their neighborhoods.

This week, Meta announced a $1.5 billion investment in El Paso, further cementing Texas as a global powerhouse in AI and innovation and creating thousands of jobs for hardworking Texans.Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is set to build a $1.5 billion AI data center in El Paso.The facility will be constructed on a 1,083-acre plot of land west of U.S.

There are some that are large that are not doing this, but that usually is from taking over a smaller local PM company and keeping those people that worked at the smaller company in place because they know the area, laws, product way better than a national brand. 

In Bryson City you have a popular tourist train (GSMR), one of the largest casino's in the Southeast, the Nantahala Outdoor Center, the second largest lake in NC, and some of the most notorious fly fishing rivers in the US. 

Quote from @Marc Shin: Hello - looking for advice on investing in the Shenandoah National Park area. 

A data center is tens of millions, there is no small facility here.Crypto mining tenants will not get you any decent cap rate on exit.Source: I own and develop industrial infill sites in DFW.

Developers are looking to build an $850 million data center campus on 151 acres in Jarrell, a small but growing city far north of Austin.He added the project would create 400 to 450 construction jobs and up to 50 operations jobs when completed.As for water usage, he likened it to a swimming pool, saying it has some evaporation through cooling cycles and would need to be refilled, but the technology is now more efficient."

So, you're forced into a call center model.  

OpenAI Inc. plans to occupy a $3 billion data center campus in Milam County (NE of Austin) as part of an expansion of its Stargate joint venture, which has its flagship artificial intelligence hyperscale site in West Texas.- Sam Altman's OpenAI is taking space in a planned Milam County data center campus.- Its larger Stargate project is set to be a $400 billion-plus investment over the next three years.- Central Texas continues to be a hub of data center activity.

Both figures remain near the 6.5 months that the Texas A&M Real Estate Center considers a balanced market.Homes spent slightly longer on the market, with Austin averaging 73 days (up 6 days year over year) and the metro averaging 76 days (up 5 days).
