I'm not sure if I agree, tbh. You've certainly brought up some good cases of failures, but what about: Tesla in Sparks NV, BMW in Greer SC, or Mercedes in Alabama and SC? It seems like those have more than paid for themselves by now. In at least one of those cases, they've had huge regional impacts.

>Tesla in Sparks NV Ironically, you go to the website and there's a fake image of the factory, based on previous promises. I can't speak to the others, but I'm sure there's some positive outliers!

  Why assume they are outliers? It seems like there are more successes than failures, just that the failures get attention.
