I recently visited my home town and alma mater. Both places need new industry. My home town is littered with empty office buildings and work is hard to find. My alma mater's surrounding area just lost one of its two grocery stores and has little outside of the college. Even where I currently live needs another industry as its current is literally a gamble - Las Vegas. It frustrates me to see so much potential concentrated in an age where travel and telepresence allow outsourcing abroad.


Incentives matter. Cities should work together to push and pull industry where it needs to go using policy.


I wish they could but there aren't incentives for that. It's completely alien to the national, regional, state, locality based government we've got.
