Lived in the Peninsula in NorCal for several years and loved it. Shared an apartment with some pretty strange people for a bit but eh, live and let live and it's all fine.

Moved out for a 1-year job and was sure I'd be back, but it never happened. Housing is just too expensive.

Just visited both LA and the SF area again. Still love it in both places. SF in particular was much nicer than I'd heard it was supposed to be these days.

Thing I miss most is that SF area Craigslist haha. Man there is always killer guitar gear listed.

I would think AZ would be the natural choice, since Fender already has a good footprint in Scottsdale. Real estate is no longer cheap in the Phoenix area, but the state is very business friendly.

Not to mention, there is a whole lot of nothing between Phoenix and Tucson.. and conveniently located on I-10

Would their moving to another state affect the building materials?

Would moving bring down the prices or keep them the same or raise prices?

How can we benefit if they moved?
 
I wouldn't expect prices to fall, unless we see deflation in the entire economy (unlikely, given the Fed's love for inflation and fear of recessions). It might just allow them to keep production in America, as keeping production in Fullerton is not going to be sustainable.

Wouldn't that make it a vaccine then? A modified vaccine is still likely a vaccine.
Aside from that, what makes the covid shot a flu shot? We now can make MUCH faster and more targeted flu vaccines because of the mRNA tech used to make the covid vaccine, but I'm not aware in any way of it being the other way around. ANCIENT pre computer model tech was used as a proof of concept forever ago to test mRNA as a system, and standard lab assays like for flu were used in that, the same way as any other type of vaccine, but its not like they took some pre DAW era shot and made a few tweaks to it to make the covid vaccine. Even the old mRNA rabies vaccine was not made that way

That's not true at all, vaccine derived polio is the reason for the rift with major donors like the Gates Foundation to switch to IPV like we use in the US

The only thing that might be a higher expense would be being further from the seaports.

I assume many parts and materials come from across the Pacific.

But everything else, labor costs, utilities, regulations, etc.. should be much less expensive.
