There's nothing a city could do to attract corporations that wouldn't be socialism. Corporations should prefer socialized health insurance so they can drop staff in their HR dept. That's great for small business too. Take a look around Montreal. Check out that medium density housing. Can you find any homeless people? There's plenty of socialism in the US already, including police, fire dept., transportation, parks, schools, etc., all of which serve to attract talent and business.

There certainly has to be a balance between the free market and government programs. Colorado Springs is actually a great example of why low taxes and bad services for a city of its size doesn't work. Only after 2c was passed did work begin on improving the infrastructure. By the way this isn't some Democrat plot to raise taxes even the Republican president Dwight D Eisenhower recognized the importance of the state in infrastructure projects.
