At least they’re justified in not wanting data centers near them, the other stuff is just straight up poor people hatred. Opening another fracking site or oil well pump might be a better comparison.
Oooh, interesting! I’d bet pretty closely given the low-ish percentage but I’m not sure of any survey that asks so explicitly (nor am I sure respondents would be honest/accurate about construction “of any kind”.)
I imagine the number of people who want construction and the number of people who think homes are investments are close to a circle in venn diagram terms.
Buy somewhere that’s nice. Let it become development hell. Sell high.
Admittedly most also don’t want many social services, below market housing etc near them either…

The point is that whether Americans want more or less of something near them is a very bad metric for judging something.
I wonder how this compares to the percentages of people that want construction of any kind near their homes.
