Yes. That's on the civil side. On the defense & space side, BDS is working hard to shut down the storied ex-McDonnell Douglas Huntington Beach, CA facility and move to FL, Huntsville AL, and other LCOL sites. It's now as if certain iconic HB buildings never existed - they've already been razed.
Acronym expansions for those not-in-the-know:
∙ BDS = "Boeing Defense Systems"
∙ LCOL = "low cost of living"
(I'd hate to have to maintain your code, V_Terranova_Jr.)
LCOL could also mean Low Cuality of Labor
The salient aspect of the destination sites isn't low cost of living, it's "right to work" laws and other anti-union policies.
