I hardly consider hot dog vendors and ticket takers as good jobs.
If the end-all is to create jobs and infrastructure, why don’t cities invest in manufacturing—or something that actually produces wealth?
I'm talking about the 30 year old who has stayed in Minnesota partly because his/her family has had Vikings season tickets forever and decides to start a Web 2.0 business. The Vikings are just another reason to stay in the area. Now he employs 500 which ripples to 1,500 more jobs. That's huge to the area when multiplied by other start ups.
