This is true, but there is also an argument for establishing a new concentration of theory people as opposed to making an existing one stronger.
Did the TTI, with a comparable budget, have a large impact or a small impact on the field?
If the former, then a new location would be called for, if the latter, then it might be best to double up the money of some pre-existing facility (TTI, DIMACS, IAS-CS-branch), etc.
