So there are dozens of small and mid-sized cities across the U.S.

They're offering cash or housing perks or extras to attract people to live there.

To move there.

Why would they do this?

I would want fewer people living in my city, not more.

This is part of a platform called Make My Moose.

Oh, geez.

And the goal is to boost local economies and fill population gaps in less

expensive areas. Population gaps. What does that even mean? Why are they doing this? Well,

let's see. Each worker brings $80,000 to the local economy. Here's the thing. The worker, anytime there's some economic development project, they always talk about the jobs.

The job to the community, unless the person is going to live there, as you said, is completely

irrelevant because the income tax is paid where the person lives, not where they work.

So when you look on your page check, you live in Marion County. I live in Hendricks County.

You're going to see a different county and a different tax rate for where we live. And even though we both work in Indianapolis, my money goes to Hendricks

County. Yours goes to Marion County. Now there's been a big fight for years to flip that,

which it probably makes some level of sense. Now, the donut counties have fought this because so many

people come to Indianapolis to work,

but you actually think about it, where do I use the roads the most? Where you live? The city of Indiana. No, the city of Indianapolis. I drive here every day. Like, I mean, everything I drive. That's right, because you don't leave your house. Yeah, that's right. That's what's saying. I mean, I'm saying in terms of working, I'm making income.

That's a, perhaps, which'm saying in terms of working, I'm making income,

that's a perhaps, which is why as part of the road funding bill this year, the city was given an opportunity with, they'll match, I think, 50 millions the number. With the crossroads.

That the state would match the number. But the reality of it is, the majority of road travel I do, 465,70, now that's an interstate, of course, but then the downtown area, as glorious as these roads are, is the city of Indianapolis.

Hendricks County gets money off of me, and I use very little Hendricks County roads other than to get, and they're all
