There are studies showing the value of library spending. Spending on education is correlated with less crime, providing activity centres for kids again reduces societal costs in general though the link is much more tenuous here. But in general studies show spending money on the poor when they are kids pays for itself economically
There aren't any studies that exist that aren't written by a professional sports franchise showing the benefits. There isn't any studies showing that when a team leaves it hurts the economies of the cities they left.
If you actually are interested in having a debate on the value of various kinds of public spending I am open to it. I don't believe you are. However, if you are please provide the studies showing the harm of a team leaving the city based on an actual team leaving.
