This regulation being proposed would not just effect fabs. I’m originally from southern Illinois, a place with a total of 300k people spread out over a large area. Most towns are <10k and the biggest is 40k. In this area there are a /ton/ of factories making everything from car parts and tires to books to bombs and artillery shells. Most of these factories are outside of towns and there is zero public transportation.

With this in mind do you see the problem with only allowing factories to be built in places accessible to public transportation? The people making such proposals are seriously out of touch with half of the country.
