The dealership where I bought my truck that is staying open is located in a small outlying town that has not seen nearly the expansion that it will in future years.
Chrysler does not own or lease the land that dealerships are located at, so there is no reason that would be a factor in their decision. If you think Chrysler would have taken what you mentioned into consideration for the benefit of the dealers they were cutting off, you need to hope no one shows up at your cubicle with a cup they want you to pee in tomorrow
