That's an overly hostile comment - and unrealistic - I'm guessing you're probably not in the electronics industry? In many places there's only one reason a small company (let alone an individual) would buy a short run of PCBs locally - you desperately require it in two to four days and are willing to pay six times the price to get it. It's not that people aren't willing to support local PCB manufacturers, it's just that the manufacturers know there's very money in cheap, small volume work outside China and focus on the profitable niches (like really fast turnaround), which usually makes them unaffordable for hobbyists.
