For whatever reason, it fell apart.
Will my taxes go up because of this? No doubt.
But I’ve also been watching my taxes go up for my entire adult life, and never once has a tax increase come with a new arena.
This one does, and I can live with it.

At least this is an honest answer and not trying to spin it as something amazing for the city. I appreciate it more than world class city stuff.
