region’s workforce, but the collapse of steel set off a similar cataclysm in other industrial and mining businesses all over the region—which had a vicious knock-on effect, wiping out thousands of small local businesses, ravaging the local tax base and humbling the city’s once-thriving industrial finance sector, anchored by the Mellon family, which had made Pittsburgh a national banking powerhouse third only to New York and Chicago.

If, as municipalities are often required to assert when they adopt TIF, all of the increment is attributable to the activities of the TIF development authority, then TIF is fair, in that the school district is not giving up any would-be revenues
However, how will they pay for the new students that enter the schools?
-
To understand the economics and politics of TIF, it is crucial to note that while the municipality makes the TIF adoption decision, the TIF area value is part of the tax base of the school district and other local governments as well.
This is indeed a huge obstacle to getting a TIF district passed. The overlapping districts will oppose the TIF district if they will incur costs (eg new students in a school district) without receiving the revenue to deal with those expenditures

Moreover, the TIF district gets revenues from the increment times the combined tax rate for all local governments together.
This depends on the specfiics of the enabling legislation
