When I was young, manufacturing was everywhere. All the support needed was all around. Specialist companies, specialist people, it was easy. Now they bulldoze industrial districts, or turn the factories into condos. If you want to make stuff, skilled workers are rare and all old like me. Support is rare to non-existant. Supplies, tooling, etc. are ordered from far away. All of this makes every step harder. Being in the middle of your industry is an order of magnitude easier.
