It's funny that the city forced a $60,000,000 convention center on us, that sits empty most of the time and will be in the red for the rest of my life, and now they are pushing a $40,000,000 baseball stadium on us, which will be ran by the Braves, which means a minimum positive impact on local jobs, but there is still no hotel for the convention center, because the banks and private funders of such things have enough sense to stay out when the economy sucks. Easy to spend other people's money.
