Sometimes I think you sound like the curmudgeony old battleaxes that makes this place what it is. =P You forget the thread title. The people commenting would like to think Phoenix will be different by then.
People don't shoot each other here over taxes. And as I said above most of the funds to pay for it would come out of money that's already purposed to things like Spring Training and football anyway. The biggest one that would be new is transportation which has to happen anyway.
Arizona shows an odd amount of practicality in how backwards it is. Natural outgrowths of existing industries are practical which is what the Olympics ultimately are. Stadia on the order of half a billion dollars that aren't needed to begin with are not.
