You'd need a sort of 'motor city' for electronics. Something like what Detroit was for cars, or like what Shenzhen is now.

I'm surprised that no stateside port cities have tried to encourage that sort of thing; there are plenty of negative externalities, but I would still LEAP to move to such an initiative.

It's like...I want to create something that could make a difference for people, but all that I see in our current tech cities is faux do-goodiness, iniquity, and seething resentment. It's a bunch of people saying that they want to save the world while reaching into the pockets of people who can't afford it, and it hurts to be unfailingly lumped into that sort of behavior.
