One tactic would be for a city to declare eminent domain and take over all

want to go there though.

Cleveland did that for a while, got tired of it, sold out to Cablevision which
subsequently
sold out to Adelphia, and Adelphia is now Cleveland's only cable company.

Not sure why they sold; it was several years ago.
