The factory would, of course, never prosper, and the township would decay and die slow and painful death. The individuals would get wealthy, send their kids to good schools, and the kids would never come back, except mabe to visit and then run disgusted away.

People feel lost and betrayed by the society at large.
They don't believe any more in government, in laws, in the system. Every such a small town in the world is an instable enclave of the global silent discontent. If you push them just a little more they'll burst. Cancer will spill all over the place devouring on the urban culture that despised them. There is also something particular with the thirtysomething single males from those communities.
