Well, okay, but this one is a difficult one to really take too seriously, because just obtaining all the needed land for rail is difficult, while the cameras, for example, go up on municipal right-of-way.
So while there are probably tons of examples that are legit, this one actually kinda sucks on the logic/accuracy side, even if it is still relevant.
I hate to say, but it is truthy, not truth. But close to good points.
Data centers seem to have little issue getting the land. Trains in France, Japan, and many other countries have no issue getting the land
It's difficult because we have policies in place to make it difficult
