None of this is true. Data centers create very few jobs; they do not attract high income residents or businesses. In fact, they have demonstrably damaged property values (not to mention health, but easier to see and sue for).

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
