The tax for the Sprint Center is also paid for by hotel rooms and rental cars, leaving only a third of the tax subsidies coming from airport parking. There is no question that modern public transit will help in the long run. Without outside $$$, we pay for everything.

They are concerned with More! More energy! More gasoline in their status symbol SUVs! More road lanes! More strip malls in the urban core, even if it means tearing down historic urban buildings for swaths of parking lots and big box stores. And for the most part we let them with only minor resistance from neighborhood groups who then get called out in the suburban-minded Star as being crazy radicals. How bout that.
