Anyone surprised that the fans didn't vote for them to stay is crazy. It is actually expected IMO. SD isn't even a sports city anyway it's more a party/beach city.

Well, technically the fans didn't vote for them to move. They voted to not give a handout to a billionaire who owns one of only 32 teams in the most profitable sport in North America.
I am proud of SD drawing a line publicly for refusing to be held hostage of doling out corporate welfare in exchange to ransom demands by some obscenely rich prick trying to force their hand by threat of taking away the team.
They paid a steep cost to stand on principle of there is absolutely zero justification why the general public should subsidize a new stadium unless they have an equity stake in seeing future profits on their investment. Especially in today's age, the profitability of the modern NFL, and the fact that these stadiums today aren't multi-use municipal facilities to enrich the community otherwise.
