data center capital of the world. Avoid them like the plague. They suck up hundreds of thousands of gallons of water a day, have a constant noise, and scar the landscape. Take a look at some of the aerial views of data centers next to housing developments and read up on it. It's a freaking zoning disaster thanks to a Board of Supervisors who can't say "no" to the players like Chuck Kuhn.
