It's interesting because the cities some people decry as not business friendly often get lots of job growth while charging companies a lot to expand there.

Cities like NYC, SF, Boston, Seattle usually offer zero incentives and even charge developers fees for new development.

That's not a good thing. Those cites also have the lowest rates of new residential construction (in %) and housing shortages.
