A population of 600 000 is tiny by American standards. Surely somebody living in Taipei would appreciate this.

Putting professional sports teams in retirement communities is a bad idea. It's failed many times before. See: All south Florida sports teams, Phoenix Coyotes. Old people don't have the disposable income. Also they follow their old teams and rarely switch allegiances
