Data Center, NIMBY, and Due Diligence

There was a letter addressed to the resident of my family condo unit, asking if we would be willing to hear them out. There is a plan drawn, and possibly already under way, to build a data center near my family home. The condo is in a small village with measly 40k population, —that’s considered small in South Korea— and the village happens to be near Seoul, the capital of South Korea with 9.4 million population. The condo association and neighborhood association are already up in arms, protesting against the construction of the data center.
