I particular, SpaceX already has facilities at Cape Caneveral - an area well-acquainted with these kinds of launches. It's weird that Musk insists on Boca Chica.
SpaceX is well underway building their second orbital launch platform and tower at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
My understanding is that Boca Chica will be a factory and development/testing site and Florida the primary launch location. They are also building a rocket factory at Cape Canaveral.
