Like, how many software engineers getting hired would it take to get your mayor’s attention? A thousand? I think you can count up to a thousand with five to ten city employees, an ad campaign, a trivial tweak to income tax onboarding, and a one-off rebate of 2~5% their tax NPV.

I originally came to Japan under the auspices of the JET program, which paid me a salary for three years, and I felt really guilty at the time for my perceived gap in effectiveness relative to the size of that subsidy. In hindsight, that may be the best ROI on an ISA from 2004.

Is there a good way my city could attract remote workers without, you know, handing out public money to people who are already well off?

If it goes down easier with an accounting fiction you can have a private company pay them the money in return for buying future tax receipts from the city. Then no public money will have gone to someone who is well off. Or you can use the traditional method; bid with services.
