But if you would like to expand on your YMCA point, and see if you can present something useful and pertinent, to further the conversation, instead of vainly trying to belittle other peoples' posts, please do so.

People were having a normal, polite conversation before you came in with random, condescending comments alluding to made up comparisons between YMCA/NHL entertainment values and how complex the world is. You find people insufferable because they give back to you what you put out.
You’re welcome to start again and just assume people know the basics. Yes, we all know the city can spend more on more than one thing. But, as you acknowledged which had already been pointing out, the budget IS finite and there are MANY things which need funding. Not everything gets funding, or the level of funding it truly needs. So questions over whether some projects make more financial sense or have more community value matter. That’s also part of how these decisions are made.
Anyway. The point is the YMCA comparison was one of access, not entertainment. You can disagree, but it’s reasonable for people to prefer more accessible, better contributions to society than what a pro-sports arena can provide. Especially when the very limited benefits a pro-sports arena can provide are already being provided to the fullest extent.
