And I think this discussion lies somewhere in the middle. It's not a McDonald's franchise asking for free land, and it's not a public library, it's a unique situation and I'm somewhat surprised at how definitive some people are about the use or non-use of public funds/land/incentives etc... when they have no idea what the project is.
