Hmm. The reason ip’s can do that is that for most people internet speed is incidental to how you live. Whereas these towns would be competing for the thing itself. However there are high switching costs so I could see scenarios where the towns become traps on the decline. Or optimize to get people to move in then take profits on the backend from poor management.
