Brooks Patterson whining about Detroit luring business from Oakland County

[bailey]

Oakland County is growing jobs, and obviously is eating Detroit's lunch. The subsidized job increases downtown are a tiny fraction of regional job gains, and irrelevent in the big picture.

Patterson is complaining about taxpayer subsidized job transfers, where suburbanies are taxed to force companies to move downtown in a game of regional musical chairs. No net economic growth, and increased costs for families and businesses.

If it's so irrelevant then why is Brooksie bitching and moaning about it to anyone who'll listen?

Are you really saying Brooks doesn't game tax payer subsidies to lure business to OC. Jesus christ man, you're just ridiculous. OC owes its entire existence to taxpayer subsidized sprawl. Besides, he called out DAN GILBERT for luring business, especially tech and financial jobs out of OC. He didn't level his criticism at City or County government.

Brooks is bitching about Detroit engaging in the same poaching OC has for the last generation.

It's the very definition of hypocrisy. And it's actually pretty fucking hysterical to watch Brooks panic like this.
