But aren't all those tourists bringing in $97 million dollars just taking $97 million out of their local economies? People don't just pull out more money from their ass when something new gets built, they have to take money away from another spending habit to re-allocate it for the new one.

I don't think that local San Francisco businesses will be crying over someone spending $20 in SF vs. spending $20 in Podunk, Tx. Also, it doesn't necessarily get pulled out of their local economies. The money I pay to AT&T, github, etc. isn't exactly powering local businesses.
