NorthPoint is offering the township $120 million to support the community's police department and other services over the next 15 years.

$10,000 check for the local home owners and land lords lol. Good luck selling your house by then.

    We could do with fewer data centres and more dada centres, bringing avant-garde artistic provocation to every community to shake the people out of their complacency.

    Dada Center, LOL.

    Anyway, on the one hand, fuck 'em. On the other, extracting community value from any industry is the only way it can possibly work, and data centers don't provide long-term employment in any reasonable number, so it needs to be taxes and other more direct aid.

    The local residents and their governments "just" (that word's doing a lot of heavy lifting, I know) need to hold them over a barrel until they get enough to truly make it worthwhile. Making the tech industry pay their fair share would also suppress the number of datacenters down to what actually matches the realistic demand estimates. What we're seeing right now is undercapitalized bullshit trying to externalize the costs and retain the profits.

    Easy to say, hard to do so, so I guess what it comes down to is this: fuck 'em.

    Corporations shouldn’t be permitted to donate money to the community services of their choice. They should be substantially taxed and elected officials should fulfill the expectations of residents. We all know they’ll buy the politicians too so it’s just a pipe dream.
