Thats working on a different principle to what I expected.

I assumed this would be to kickstart struggling areas giving people jobs rather than maximising profits.

It does seem whenever a new thing is launched which will boost investment it goes to the same locations again and again. I also read now that the tories did the same sort of scheme in the 80s so they rehashing old ideas again. Apparently the only successful area from that is docklands in london.

Obviously I got it wrong so what I am curious about now is after the nhs etc. have been shrunk down and my city has 40-60% unemployment are the government going to pay people to relocate as a result of policy changes causing it, and are they going to build homes in these cities for people relocating to live in because policies seem to create magnets in already highely populated areas for investment.
