Should local governments give private developers financial incentives?
Local = city and/or county. Local, for the purposes of this thread, do not include state and/or federal.
Financial incentives can be in the form of tax breaks for a period of time, which has become common. Or, as is a case with my local city, a private developer wanted the city to float $23m in bonds for them as start-up money for a high rise project, essentially the city taking all the risk. (They were upset when the city turned them down.)

Quite often it means both. When so, which takes precedents?If it means jobs then yes...if it means profits for individuals at the expense of land rights...no.

No, if there is demand, thats all the financial incentive a company needs. The purpose of govt is security and justice, not economics.
Wrong....I gather you are okay with a $19 trillion debt and would double if Sanders is elected and got his way.
