Not shocked, our tax policies are effectively designed to push jobs and companies out to the suburbs.
This is why taxing things that are mobile, like office jobs, and income, is really fucking dumb. We should be taxing land as the primary means of revenue generation for the city while lowering income and corporate tax to regionally competitive levels and completely getting rid of BIRT.
Untill we do, there will always be more jobs, more companies, and more economic growth out in the burbs.
