It's weird to see this framed in business-speak. Re: my first bold: The city making money hand over fist? It's a government, not a business. Cities collect revenue, and it's rarely framed in the usual profit-making terms; it's framed as operating at a surplus.
You do realize that last sentiment [[my second bold) about having some resources to help the poor is sort of meaningless if the whole city is gentrified or farmland?
