So what your saying is that the city is funding a project that only a select minority of the cities tax payers will actually ever use, with a capital outlay that will essentially never be recouped during the whole life span of the asset, and the city is going to have to continually pay upkeep and repairs on? Why does this sound so familiar to me?At least tell me the roof is going to be structurally engineered to attract concerts.
