you're deliberately misunderstanding me. The city council is not in the business of taking land. It may from time to time, but on the whole, this is not what it is about.
Corporations on the other hand are about maximizing shareholder return, ie profit. All that is ALL that they are concerned with. This might not be bad if it's a little local corporations -- Dana's Designs Inc, for example, which is going to spend its profits locally. Big corporations and especially multinationals however leech money and mostly send it to a bank in Delaware or the Bahamas. Whatever it takes to avoid taxes. So back to my example -- the Navaho Nation gets 200 jobs at a price of almost $1 million each. The company gets the profits, and the electricity goes out of state. Little kids in New Mexico get to have trouble breathing. Such a deal and we haven't even thought about global warming yet.
