This sounds like a generic NIMBY argument to me? eg. "why should we build a datacenter in my backyard, when it'll raise MY electricity prices?" Of course, if everyone has this attitude, no datecenters, power plants, homeless shelters will ever be built
I am very YIMBY, but it's totally reasonable that you don't want industrial work done in your backyard. This is exactly what zoning and city planning were designed for.
It seems odd to me to try to redefine Y/NIMBY depending on the individual project. I wouldn’t want a sewage plant or a datacenter in my neighborhood, absolutely no one would. Why would one be NIMBY and one not?
