I don't understand what your point is.

Every business in every town/city/county is so the owner of the business can make the most money.
The city/town/county benefit is always to make some money on the taxes of having the business in within their boundaries, and use that business to spur other business and home owners. 

So just because Khan is doing what literally every businessman everyone does and the city of Jax is doing what every city/town/county does, it is somehow wrong and not worth doing?

Do we want the team to relocate? No.  Do we want to bury the city in debt for a questionable return on investment?  Also no.

I'm fundamentally opposed to helping a multi-billionaire make more billions with taxpayer money, but I recognize that's how the system traditionally works.  It's a question of numbers and balance, just like any other capital improvement.  Some, like me, want to see a complete plan and projections before putting forth an opinion. The "all in" rhetoric isn't a very wise negotiating strategy.
