I suspect your definition of a lousy place to build infrastructure in might overlap with my definition of a relatively good place to live.
"I suspect your definition of a lousy place to build infrastructure in might overlap with my definition of a relatively good place to live."
Which is quite close to the standard NIMBY attitude: "I want good grid, cheap electricity and other infrastructure, but not in my backyard. Either someone else's, or somewhere where no one lives at all."
Can't you see the fundamental problem with that attitude? We mostly live in densely populated regions. We do need roads, rail and power plants to sustain our way of living, you too.
