If you crowd sourced the problem you could probably make it work. Call it MoveOn.com, a group of people thinking about moving to another municipality get together sign some sort of binding contract forcing them to move to another municipality or not, the MoveOn representatives then canvass the two governments for the best incentives to stay / move, the company takes a percentage of the incentives negotiated. It could be instrumental in improving neighborhoods, schools and the general community, not to mention providing a much needed tax base to impoverished neighborhoods that could benefit from a better tax base. I'm sure with the state of legislation post-Kelo you could make it work with some helpful developers.
- camz 15y agoWow that's an amazing concept. I never thought of something like that. I think that with the proper idea for the "MoveOn.com" platform to work would be a great way for the average joe to "lobby" like the big guys. GE worked the hell out of the system when they got congress to pass their "green or re-usable energy credits." The energy credits often had more than 50% of the tax savings going to the company.
