Glad I am moving 50 miles away from my current home to a nice piece of property in the middle of Large Acreage farms.
We used to have 4 very large "MALLS" in the Detroit area: Northland, Westland, Southland, and Eastland.
I lived a 1/4th mile from what was Eastland before the last mall was eliminated. But Home Depot, Lowes, and Amazon built large (AMAZON key point in this post,)
Stores and Warehouses and the city (17,000 people) today has the nicest high school on the east side of the city.
The Grosse Pointe schools are ancient vs the modern high school in the neighborhood I am moving out of.

In this case, Mike, the businesses you mentioned are basically supporting the entire budget of my current city.
Sounds like your Township did not do a very good job of working deals with these large companies.

That said, I wanted acreage in the country.

The farms are minimum size of 100 acres and many are 5 to 10 times larger in size.

Gods Country for me. 30 deer drank at my lake a few days ago. Still moving tons of Pontiac stuff to the new place.

So I guess it is how a given township/city makes a deal with these large companies, you mentioned. Ford, GM, TELSA, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

Will not effect me one way of the other.

Sorry to hear that your case is different. CITY-FIED. Cheap taxes, etc

Ford says they want everything EV in 10 years, good luck with that target.
