It could be a net gain. Dropping a few thousand jobs and a factory into an area changes said area. Sometimes for the better. Sometimes not.

Most communities tend to prefer having lots of jobs available versus having too few jobs available.

Absolutely. But I don't know anyone who likes having the added traffic that thousands of jobs bring. And increased housing prices. And yada yada. More jobs isnt always positive and at the very least have some downsides.
