If it's anything like cities near me, the problem is that the elected officials have concentrated their concerns on one area of the city, and neglected other areas. Disney tax breaks are probably great for Disney and the immediate area, but Anaheim has a lot of area outside the immediate area of Disneyland.

In the Bay Area, see how San Jose officials spends so much focus on the downtown, but the city is very spread out, and many residents have no connection to downtown.
