This sport arena deal is a dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t .
If you support it you are piling on idiotic amounts of dept that Sac town has no way of paying back. By pouring money into a sports arena, schools and health care and fixing potholes in the streets are likely to be at risk. There is only so much tax money to go around. $250 million on a sports arena that is unlikely to make money, is that much taken away from needed govt services.
On the other hand, Sac town has already spent taxes they would get from the players and owners, many years down the road. If they don’t get the team, they are in a gigantic tax hole with no way to pay for services.
The bottom line is that the city is in a horrible financial state. Their finances have been run into a ditch long ago and they have idiotic amounts of unfunded debt liabilities. They have no business getting into a bidding war for a sports arena that won’t pay for itself.

You are a terrible person, you realize that if this arena plan and everything doesn’t go to sacramentos side, you will be hated by sooooo many people… You have your own opinion but your so close minded to the fact that this is more than basketball, downtown sacramento is dead with nothing there, with this arena there there will be so much money being made its ridiculous, in 2019 were supposed the all star weekend here in sac and that will bring in a TON of money… So try to look at the other side…
