^this^ the ancillary benefits of having a major league sports town is many times the difference between growing or dying. It's not like these billionaires aren't footing 2/3's or so of the costs now, and as HTIS say, this has little to do with the management of the city who's funding should adequately keep infrastructure dependable and operational. This is usually done in an additional sales tax in addition to the operational taxes for the city's budget. No stadium no additional tax.
