Data Center Boom Faces Voter Opposition Nov 04, 2026

Show notes

The AI data center boom is bringing billions of dollars in investment to communities across America, but growing voter opposition could put major projects at risk.

OpenAI is trying to change the conversation by rebranding data centers as "compute campuses." Meanwhile, communities are raising concerns about electricity costs, water usage, and infrastructure demands. With data center-related measures on ballots across the country, the industry's rapid expansion is facing new challenges.

In this episode, Kathy Fettke explores what's driving the backlash, how AI infrastructure investment could bring jobs and economic growth to smaller markets, and what the boom could mean for housing demand and real estate investors.
