>I would think that there are brownfield ex-factory sites which make more sense. This exactly. Why are these companies not forced to develop in bigger cities that have the existing infrastructure to support them. Detroit could use all the property tax it can collect and those companies do the public little good being out in the middle of nowhere dodging taxes and regulations. Seems like an opportune chance to force them to be urban and a little more beneficial to society.
