>>> Could you elaborate on the argument here >It seems like you're trying to make this way more complex than it is. >From the perspective of a city: >Gaining quality high paying jobs without a large subsidy >> Gaining quality high paying jobs while paying a large subsidy. >That's what was argued and is correct. She knew the city was in a strong negotiation position and it was absurd to provide a subsidy. Here is the actual equation we ended up with: Gaining N high paying jobs without a large subsidy << Gaining 5N quality high paying jobs while paying a large subsidy paid if and only if 5N jobs created.
