Most of the examples are $500M to $1B deals which were sold to the public with exaggerated claims. It's not hard to agree that there is not enough marginal benefit to repay that cost. I think there is a lot to learn from the mistakes of other cities. Some of these are county governments that really got burned trying to draw development away from the big city.
Nothing in there to suggest $100M is a bad investment every 20 to 30 years
