Should cities be allowed to offer private companies economic incentives to relocate?

There needs to be far less capitalism. Looking after the environment, animals and people should be our main priority.

No - the landscape is forever changing and much can be done over the internet so this is not a issue going forward.

Only inside NZ

Only if there is an exceptional economic argument.

End neoliberalism. The deregulated market does not work.

Yes - Only if a NZ Owned Company. otherwise no.

Clear the environment and non rubbish or litering by sections crisis line inc

Ongoing by community is wanted income and use excuse by welfare development inc new Zealand first party decrease and under Increase

No. Like Rio Tinto Zinc, these companies can ultimately hold the government over a barrel

pee pee poo poo I don't get this one :(

Only if the city is big like nyc

yes, as long as the enviroment is not harmed

Is this for them staying in NZ or going overseas. I support anything that allows NZ companies to stay and be productive and give employment to Kiwis.

If it provides local jobs, eventually earns a tax revenue greater than the tax incentive and it's doesn't compromise the environment.

Yes, but only after rigorous planning determines that the net benefit of the increased revenue from the company outweighs the incentives and ongoing costs (including requirement for honest calculation of actual ongoing environmental costs)

How might a city ensure that the benefits of hosting a giant corporation outweigh the sacrifices made in tax incentives?

If a company's arrival means a rise in your city's cost of living, is it still worth the economic incentives provided?

Would you give up certain city services if it meant your city could attract a big tech company and potentially boost the economy?

In what ways could a community benefit from having a major corporation like Amazon move in, apart from job creation?

What are some potential downsides for a community when it gives large tax incentives to attract private companies?

Should smaller local businesses get the same financial incentives as large corporations; why or why not?

How would the arrival of a big corporation in your town change your day-to-day life, for better or worse?

If a major corporation offered to bring 10,000 jobs to your city but requested significant tax breaks, would you support it and why?

What could your community do with the funds that are often offered to mega-corporations as incentives to relocate?

How would you feel if a large company received tax breaks to move to your town at the cost of funding for local schools and infrastructure?
