Personally, I'd prefer the stadium. But I'm also not a narcissist and I'd vote for the public transportation to help the public good rather than the stadium for my personal enjoyment.

That statement is really bizarre to me. Isn't the point of voting to vote what you actually want? If you are right and the masses would prefer a transit system.. It would win anyway right?

I think it's more bizarre to want a private stadium built with tax payer money rather than a functional transit system.

I think there's more to voting than just getting what you want. And I think a lot of minority groups have been negatively impacted by such thinking.

I can want a new stadium while also recognizing that saddling the 49% of the population who didn't even want an entertainment building with part of that debt is immoral.

OTOH, a transit system could be a net positive for the city, even if it wouldn't help me personally.
