If it came to your neighborhood, would you still support bitcoin mining?
It's easy to blame Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining. But the bigger issue is Texas have poor law and law enforcement.
Yeah, you definitely can't live next to this. If I were the people living next to Marathon, and there was absolutely nothing that I could do at the City Hall level, I'd put the house for sale.
No sane people would buy house on that area without relative low price though.
