Provide infra for amateur sports teams, youth and adult?
Provide free public transport?
Provide better health care to the residents? Heck, how about just providing health care!
Provide bountiful resources to schools to improve education?
Oh, wait a sec, I forgot. Those suggestions are things which are economically sound. Sorry, my mistake.
- dagw 5y agoProvide infra for amateur sports teams, youth and adult? I wish this was demanded more when cities pay for stadiums. I mean the rink where our pro hockey team plays is used all the time by local youth hockey and figure skating teams. The stadium where our pro football team plays is basically always empty outside of those few hours a few times a year when there is an actual game.
- toast0 5y agoI mean, I'm not sure how much of those are within the bounds of city council. Around here, we've got a parks district for sport infrastructure. And a county transit authority for transport. Health care would be probably through the county health department. And the schools are through the school board. So, the city couldn't do any of those things even if it wanted to. Of course, my city also is way too small for a pro sports arena, which is part of why I selected to live here.
