Something I see underemphasized is that car dealerships give off huge amounts of property, sales, and business taxes and from a public revenue standpoint are essentially money fountains, so keeping dealership owners happy in place is not only clutch for local politicians as political actors, but as the legitimately elected guardians of their particular electorates’ interests

If you see a stretch of road with a bunch of dealerships in a row it is inevitably right on the edge of a jurisdictional border (perhaps a historic pre-annexation one!) and there is a reason they’re all on the same side of it.
