But it isn't really isn't that black and white is it? A rich family could get a break on this property to build a Trader Joes there, but how long has the property been vacant? Maybe no one else wants to build there and this "subsidy" is better for the community due to the employment a Trader Joes and other businesses could provide.

Right now an empty parking lot isn't helping the community much; this should also be taken into consideration.
