Looking at this, we can assume that Boca Chica is not competitive beccause....the region is poor and lacks the investment potential, the region has few associative business to support SpaceX and the workfoce here is not trained to support the space industry. It looks like we lose for the same reasons we have always lost businesses here. Add to that that the fact that our schools don't produce a workforce that is literate, skilled or have any critical thinking skills and we may suffer another loss in attracting new businesses and industry. We wonder why we can't go forward....its clearly because we refuse to exert "tough love" to educate our children and those with money refuse to invest in progress. We have an "entitlement" attitude and are waiting for the government or someone else to give us something.
Real estate in the Boca Chica area has already been deeded to Space-X, if not for a launch site and a tracking site. It was deeded by the "the goverment". Which goverment entity I am not certain . I am not making this up.
on the contrary. boca chica offers less population, more isolation and less regulation than florida.
