Fixing downtown retail

[LandRunOkie]

Does anyone know where to find a sales tax collection map? A ban on sales tax in the CBD would probably not cost very much lost revenue for the city and greatly enhance visitors' image of the city.

Frankly, I think this is a the wrong kind of subsidy. But let's start a thread to discuss how to attract retail downtown so we don't gum up the Underground thread.

OK so why is this the wrong kind? And what would you favor as the right kind?
