Isn't that like exactly the sort of thing the interstate commerce clause was originally meant to stop? There shouldn't be such competition between states or local governments, whether real or just negotiation bluff.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoNo, states compete on tax structures all the time. Look at the Amazon headquarters boondoggle a while back, states were falling all over themselves to offer the best tax/infrastructure packages.

- pas 6y agoEventually San Diego fills up. Why not let efficiency dictate these things?
- unishark 6y agoFilling up is winning. The population will stop growing soon enough and it becomes a zero-sum game.
- pas 6y agoThere are still people moving. Internal migration is bigger than external. Cities develop even if the population is roughly stable. Generations are not the same size, etc. Also the economy changes. It cannot really become zero-sum in my view. Could you explain how you think about this?
