Ah. But they really do not build THAT many and THAT distributed everywhere. Not even sure if the trades are really the same. Perhaps the foundation can easily be adapted across different scales. But a sparky or plumber or whatever working on homes has no idea how to make such a big/different building?
Trades are trades and work to engineering drawings. My observation is that companies tender for a sub component, plumbing or bricklaying etc and send their tradies . Whether that is sufficient to affect housing in the US is hard to say but it certainly could have a more local effect.
Why fewer workers building homes?
I assume it’s because of all the trades required to build these mega data centres. Usually there are a lot of bonuses associated with mega projects.

People who could build homes can get more money to be on datacenter builds instead.
