It's not fair to make them pay for something they won't use.
The weird thing is that I remember having a conversation about this back at BM...and so many posters thought it was necessary since the stadiums are used for public purposes as well....bull shit...maybe a tax break for the use, but not a tax increase on the people.
and I'm a sports fan...

Careful, or OMOF will say you and the displaced people are jealous of Jerry Jones.
It's simple really. The government of and for the people are displacing people at the whim of a private entity. Having the Jerry Jones Experience in Arlington will improve the city's revenue overall. But no so much as many would believe, and at what cost. The overall benefit comes at the price of individual equal
citizens are being forced by the government to abandon their
homes. This from a very non largely won vote, which tells me this isn't mandate-sized enough to warrant using the 'good of the many over the good of the one' ideology.
Which leaves corporate Jones ramrodding this thing down Arlington officials throats and them caving. It has nothing to do with being a sports fan, I bleed Blue and Silver. This is a precedence setting action that impinges upon citizen's rights, and we've had far too much of that already.
