It’s not 1980. Plus you can’t build in neighborhoods usually due to regulations. The same workers who run the plants live in the neighborhoods. Nobody wants environmental issues. But to be clear, when we built a plant in Mexico or china, we build to the tightest environmental specs we have, globally. The US has very tight controls. The reasons plans are built in the outskirts or in designated areas is for regulations and costs.
