Hundreds of railway stations were built some distance from the place they purported to serve. After all, whilst those 19th century citizens might...
Of course charities have an impact on the economy, possibly in the area where they are based, and it makes no difference to the 'attractiveness'...
First, it has to be a business. If revenue does not exceed operating cost+renewals, it is not a flourishing business. It is a hobby, a charity case.
