derf82,

Funny you mention those stadiums. SoFi Stadium, where the Rams play, was 100% financed by the Rams owner.

Allegiant Stadium, where the Raiders play, did get public funding, but it was capped at $750 million while the Raiders paid $1.1B.

I don’t like public stadium funding, either, but outside of Olympic spending, cities are mot routinely paying over $1B in public dollars for a single stadium.

derf82,

Try more like $500,000 for a bus.

And light rail is $20m per mile or more (way more in an established downtown).

And I am, in fact, a civil engineer.
