It's much easier to find a country or jurisdiction that doesn't care about a bunch of data centers vs launching them into space.

I don't get why we aren't building mixed use buildings, maybe the first floor can be retail and restaurants, the next two floors can be data centers, and then above that apartments.

In Switzerland infomaniak built a data center under apartments and DC heat is used for heating. There are some videos about it.

		Americans have trouble understanding something like that. We believe anything short of a 3bdrm house with a lawn and backyard is communism. I'd love to live in a dense city. My office within waking distance. A Cafe in my apartment building, etc.

Probably for the same reasons they aren't doing mixed use prison and restaurant buildings.

		What you don't want to live near the newest poisonous abomination that the whiz kids dreamt up? Do you want China to take over America or something?

		Mixed-use buildings with restaurants on the lower floors and residential on the upper floors are very common. Not sure what prisons have to do with anything.
