public funding for citifield

the New York Mets baseball team is building a new stadium called citifield for the 2009 baseball season. but believe that it doesn't get made without the public dollar. the new york Mets stadium will cost 850 million dollars and will be constructed next to Shea stadium in empty parking space. most of it the Mets are paying for it but 443 million is coming from the city. buy yet again the city ends up with the short stick. but here is an upside to the stadium. it will create new jobs in the community and commerce within the borough. as many people that support the stadium there will be more that will oppose it. to say that it will disturb the peace or it is juss taking more of the public space. they will complain that the peoples tax dollars shouldn't be spent on a stadiums when there is some much to be done with the city which show a lack of prioritizing the city's money when it could be spent on some many different things rather than a near billion dollar project. the city government doesn't even make most of the money it invest on the project back and the team will juss use the stadium and not take care of it. then when the stadium is old and tired the will just do the same thing. seeing as how the team owners have this sort of vice grip on the city mayors were they have these gun-to-head antics of threatening to move the team if they don't comply with the money the team needs to build the stadium. its a vicious circle that no one can stop. as long as the government allows them to do it they will continue their methods.
