   I dont understand why data center development is so location specific.

   Is it proximity to the city power grids and fiber backbones?

   Seems that would be solvable then land is trivial if they go somewhere without objetors

      basically. You'd need to build out electricity and network infrastructure and that's not like plugging a cable into a pole. With the amount of power you need voltage substations, transmissions lines, upgrades to the existing grid, land assessments etc.

      And obviously with it tons of skilled labor and people that would have to live somewhere.
