Reality Test on Business Subsidies
Residents and the council seem to favor a thirty million dollar sales tax subsidy for Rouse Properties which cannot guarantee attracting high dollar shoppers; surely the Council and residents would favor a modest half million dollar sales tax subsidy for my proposed business which guarantees high income shopper traffic.
I want to open an Urban Farm Supply, where I would sell $3,000 chicken coops, fifty dollar bags of organic poultry and rabbit feed, $1,000 architectural raised bed kits, organic vegetable starts, organic fruit trees, and exotic baby ducks and chickens at prices up to $5,000 for a pair of Ayam Cemani chicks down to a modest $50 a chick for a Cream Legbar or an American Blue Gosling.
Since this would be a far higher end business than any in the Pleasanton area, it has guaranteed high income traffic.
