The New Local Veto
The structural change is not the redesign itself; it is who forced it. Project Tango's developer can reduce square footage, adjust plans, and wait out the calendar, but the political unit that matters has become the surrounding neighborhood. Once residents frame an AI data center as an intrusion near a school and homes, the approval process becomes a test of local tolerance rather than a review of technical capacity. That gives opponents a stronger hand than the project map suggests.
