Then why is no one eminent domaining golf courses? Clearly there are other factors at play here

Well nobody is eminent domaining existing data centers, are they?

Try to build as many new golf courses as there are new data centers going up and you might get a similar reaction...

Golf courses do not emit noise, they are relatively nice looking and they are not a threat for people to be unemployed.

of course there are other factors at play here. has anyone tried to hide their motives?

look, i use llms for some work and for some hobby projects, but lets not pretend like the companies behind the llm bubble would ever fight fair. that would be naive to an extreme.

A lot of golf courses are owned by cities or other public entities.
