I laid out rough guidelines starting from basic concepts. Applied to this case, the right to the revenue is being sold (as per the title). This interest is indeed part of what has been created with public funds.

For example, all throughout this thread there are people pointing out the newly created difficulties of implementing specific policies (for example bike lanes), due to the inflexibility created by divestment.
