It happens with all business, depending on the size of the business and how
many jobs, tax revenue, property tax revenue, etc it brings into the city,
state, etc. No one is forcing the city or state to do this, but financial
analysis shows that it is beneficial. You take a bunch of undeveloped land
and make a factory or store, and now the property taxes or sales taxes being
generated are huge, and offset the initial tax breaks or infrastructure
development required (there would be zero taxes to give breaks on if they
don't have incentive to move their business there). Then on top of the
business by itself, you have the property tax and income revenue from the
new employees, and then the multiplier effect of the money that they spend
at other businesses.

This is not about capitalism vs. socialism, this is about democracy versus
totalitarianism. There are dictators like JoeSpareBedroom who want to tell
other people how to run other people's city or state, even though he doesn't
even live there. In a democracy, majority rules and if you don't like it you
can move to the Peoples Republic of Berkley or some other suitable place
that you will happier living in.
