Keep in mind that the City not only offered a "favourable mortgage" to build the arena, they offered to have their property taxes go only towards paying off that mortgage. A lot of people seem to forget that with every property there is the cost to build it, and the cost to own it. If my property taxes were 100% going towards paying off my mortgage, I'd be pretty elated.

But apparently that's disrespectful!
