It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

- Teddy Roosevelt, April 23rd 1910

Economics of Density can be a solid competitive advantage for geographically impacted businesses like retail stores, restaurants and other local businesses. The core idea behind Economics of Density is that economies of scale in supply chain, marketing & management support are best achieved in tight geographic circles. Its easier said than done because its very hard for businesses to stay focused and expand in a disciplined way. 

Take a look at a really great video about Walmart's expansion strategy. Notice how they expand in concentric circles.

For non-profits of the future (don't know how far away this is), I think the subsidy should go where the cost/benefit accrues. So, in the case of any organization that runs schools, the ...
