you're mostly right. if baltimore was more like seattle where there was a lot of wealth and creativity IN the city then it wouldn't matter about the surrounding areas because people would want to be there. baltimore county would get many of these businesses and people would have to go there to shop. the border between the city and county would be prime commercial real estate. there would be more automated fast food joints in the city, etc. the private businesses that are paying above the graduated scale each year wouldn't be impacted. the only employers who would end up being really affected is the city govt because they can't move out of the city. i'm all for this increase, but for it to work in a place like baltimore it has to be statewide because this country's laws weren't designed with municipalities having real power. states have more power over a city than the federal govt has over a state.
