Yada those sports arenas provide jobs for people so they can buy homes,
they also buy goods and services from businesses which in turn provides more jobs.
It increases tourism which also creates more jobs.
Leroy,
Come on !!
IMO, its just
govt 'bread and circuses'.....being funded from the public purse.
i.e.
TAXPAYERS If those sports arenas are soooo positive [to the economy of a state], and provide such a good 'investment' [for the whole community],
why do TAXPAYERS [through state governments
'ingratiating' policies] need to fund them with public money ?
Surely, if the returns from sports arenas are so good......then 'private interests' would be coming forward to fund them [for their own profit!!].
Come on.
We should be using TAXPAYER money......to be fixing public housing FIRST !!
I generally don't like to see governments spending public money, to achieve ANY 'projects' [there is too much opportunity for graft always going on !].
graft3 = = bribery and other corrupt measures pursued for gain in politics or business.
