I wouldn’t call it starry-eyed from where I sit. I’m in Columbus, I’m watching other cities bring in corporate jobs from tech companies (Austin, Raleigh, Nashville, Pittsburgh, etc.) and frankly those places aren’t that much different except maybe Austin b/c of the semiconductor history.
Network effects matter and while it might be silly the signal of a company moving to your city really does attract other businesses. Right now we are relying on family and friends, like someone grew up here and wants to be back near family.
Meanwhile we got a new Google data center with $50+ million in tax breaks for checks notes 20 new jobs.
I’d take Palantir.
