The problem
A data center is an industrial neighbor: large, lit around the clock, and often accompanied by substations and transmission lines. Buyers notice. Homes near these facilities can sell for less, sit on the market longer, or become harder to finance and insure. That lost value is a concrete economic harm, not a matter of taste.
The legal claim
Property-value diminution is pursued through nuisance and related claims, and is quantified with appraisal and economic evidence. It is frequently a major component of the damages in a data center case.
