>We should be fixing the upstream reasons why TSMC didn’t want to build these fabs in the US
Good luck with that.
>Making sure local governments and NIMBYs have only a small amount of veto power
This isn't really possible politically in the US. The US is all about corrupt little local governments having lots of power; it's the whole way the country is structured. Americans have historically hated centralized government. It's also a big part of why the police in America are so awful: there's almost no centralization or standardization, so no power of the national government to fix the problems.
