Nah man, the ones I’ve been at have been quite effectively planned. Every square meter costs. I think it’s quite silly to equate datacenters to lawns. Datacenters are better for the environment and and provide stability which is important for national safety.
Care to share your experience? I work for a MSP and we serve private companies and governmental bodies. These companies exist because people need their services, if noone needed or wanted those services the companies wouldn’t be profitable. Disruptions to their services show up on news and cost a great deal to the society.
That is where national safety comes in to the picture. If you don’t agree imma head out.
