Infrastructure: Still a Good Investment?

In the past, infrastructure was an investment into the local population. Highways and train stations allowed cities to grow and towns to prosper, and even modern airports do the same thing to many destinations.

But what will ai data centers do? It almost reminds me of Dollar General. Whenever they move into a new area, it pushes out local business and the money that would have stayed within the community gets siphoned out to uninterested aliens.

Will ai prop up local communities, or will it turn into the new manufacturing where the cheapest bid usually wins?
