Quite a bit of the infrastructure goes nowhere -it only benefits a factory built out at that location. As a Chicago resident who sometimes visits Milwaukee, I will personally note that the interstate construction was horrible and ripped up roads that had been completed just a few years prior.

To say nothing of the people that lost their homes to eminent domain.

Foxconn is known for the, uh, con, so a lot of industry insiders weren't surprised this entire thing played out the way it did.
