We had a municipal election less then a year ago and that was a pretty prominent issue. YMMV but I thought the result was a pretty clear indicator of about how much we all collectively consider it to matter.

That's what a bid of that size will generate. If you want more go tell your ward counselor that you want a $10,000,000,000.00 bid. Of course you'll have to compete with a bunch of people saying that's a waste of money. Alternatively you could go get the private sector to agree to subsequently rent the facilities they'll use for their private business operations at a rate that allows the city to reclaim it's capital cost.
