Impact analysis
The tax breaks could pull private dollars into neglected areas, but they can also mean less tax revenue and public subsidies for projects that might have happened anyway.
Developers and investors get the tax perks, while residents in underserved areas could see new jobs and investment—if the projects actually land there.
Long-time residents could get priced out if new investment drives up rents, and taxpayers foot the bill for incentives.
