Greedy realtors would want this to happen in their city as it will inflate property values and fill their pockets deep. They certainly can influence city officials (via campaign funds etc.) to throw tax incentives at Amazon which will come from the pockets of tax payers. It would be interesting to have city wide referendum where constituents get to vote on such matters.
- gxs 9y ago|Greedy realtors Wouldn't this apply to anyone who wants this in their town? Greedy people who want more money in their paychecks. Greedy cities who want a larger tax base. Greedy local business who want to benefit from consumers with more money. If you dig deep enough, everybody is "greedy." In this case, if a realtor's incentive is aligned with the city and its people, isn't it a good thing they are lobbying for the HQ to be in their city?
