[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Datacenter industry person here. In most areas, datacenters pay a special commercial rate, which is typically higher than regular commercial cusotmers. Those rates are higher than residential rates. As for jobs, yes there are a lot fewer jobs in the land area a datacenter takes up compared to putting a shopping mall on the same space. However, datacenters are usually in undesirable locations, and don't generate much traffic. Many of the jobs in datacenters are very high paying because the people who are on staff tend to be very skilled engineers... along with security guards who are paid market rate.[/quote] Dont really care. It's a scourge on our communities. [/quote] "Don't really care" but provide no actual reason or refuting point. I'm not in DMV, and this issue is quickly coming to where I live, but they're locating them at former industrial plants that shut down etc. No shopping malls/housing going up there. [/quote]
