I will respond to the bolded though, because it is pertinent to the conversation. Maybe you don't make spending decisions based on a total budget, but that is exactly how a city, or any similar large organization, does make spending decisions.
There is a finite budget to deal with, and multiple goals to achieve, and resources are allocated to achieve or address as many goals as possible. It's a pretty straight-forward, and very standard, process. And no, it isn't simply a case of 'this has more value than that', because the city has multiple goals that they are addressing at the same time, one of them (in this case) being the revitalization of East Village.

Again, you don’t seem interested in even attempting to understand the point or even what you’re saying (let alone what I’m saying) because your second paragraph is not only wrong, but you contradict it and your original silly “$7b” comment and make exactly the point I was making, which you just described as “too much wrong” in your last paragraph lol.
But yeah man, the budget is finite and there are multiple goals to achieve, so resources are allocated to achieve those goals, they don’t say “Well golly the budget is $7b so I guess we can buy an arena!” because… you know… the whole “achieving as many goals as possible with a finite budget” thing.
Good effort though?
