I didn’t bother to read much deeper on this article. Anyone who does not understand that Hollywood goes wherever the money is –as stated in the tax issues current in every statehouse in the nation. However, it be so counter intuitive to any one person, entity, or government to sink, perhaps millions, if not billions to entice an industry that as no more commitment that a saloon gal on a Saturday night. Hollywood goes where the money is–proof, Cold Mountain, about the south during the civil war, scouted locations from VA to SC, of the actual places where the events took place. Would have employed 1000′s of people. That is until an eastern European farmer could be persuaded that for $500.00 USD flat would be more that adequate to use his land for whatever they wanted–which was all of the principle photography and pick-up shooting for the movie , for as long as they wanted, more than six months. The last two parts of that statement are key. Control and more control. Austin, TX, Wilmington, NC, St. Paul, MN, Chicago, IL, Santa Fe, NM, among many, many others have become “THE THIRD” coast–in their own minds–by the forceful presentation that anything is possible… at least for a designated period of time.

This is not meant to bash the original writers question, if it was sincere, however, the state of the industry, the state of the state’s that would host this industry and the core of this industry is suffering the same as the most unstable of business models that are out there today. They considered themselves civilized people…they never eat their own–they always have someone else do it for them.

Just an opinion.
