The fact that Murray Edwards operates the team at breakeven here rather than sell it for $500m to someone who can profitably run it in Houston, is charity and community service in and of itself.
He doesn't owe you or the city anything at all. The fact that you expect him to spend more money out of his own pocket for your happiness is insane.

I love the Flames but would far rather them move to Houston than receive any public funding. If he can profit from selling the team and that's what he wants to do, that's well within his rights.
