Calgary paying $538m for a new arena. Some politicians say there’s no taxpayer cost. That’s misleading. Public money not free + has other uses.

At 5%, the flow value of the subsidy is like a permanent 2.4% increase in res PTax ($88/yr for median res). That’s how I think about it
So you if you support a permanent 2.4% property tax hike in perpetuity so that the Flames get an arena then that is great. Some folks will be against the permanent tax hike though.
