No information on what they were paid vs what it was worth. Not that you can put a price on family history, but it certainly feels like an omission.
I don't support data centers, and I don't love eminent domain, but at a certain point the needs of the many outweigh the wants of the few. It sucks to see this happening due to stress from data centers and not something that's actually helping the community.
It seems like this is for a power station. I believe it's still a private company, but I do think people need to power their homes. I think this kind of thing should be state owned and not for profit, and the data centers shouldn't be there in the first place, but since they are there now and the government isn't reigning their power usage in, I don't think I like the alternative any better.
Essentially in the heat or cold electricity may get so expensive people are unable to pay for it and will be unable to keep their homes at a livable temperature. I hate that the power is going to a data center, but since it is going there I don't know what the alternative would be.

Data centers are private for-profit entities, not public infrastructure. Calling them the "needs of the many" is bullshit.
