Idk san antonio to me has a tax drain problem where people leave the city to live in suburbs not paying city taxes but still need to use city resources. We spend like 1/3 of our budget on roads, because we are car dependent even in public transport, it cost more to live in the city than outside the city. So you have slow drip of housing/taxes/labor being taken out of the city who is also expanding its spending, while more people move in, causing an even greater squeeze on housing, from which people will often choose to just live outside of city limits to avoid the city taxes. Causing a sort of tax drain on the city, as it allocates tax breaks and essentially loses tax dollars from urbanization to suburbanization at the same time. We also lack condos/multi family dwellings common with major metro centers. Everything is zoned single family dwelling essentially, with a hardcore nimby culture limiting any real estate or economic growth. So youth is stuck in horrible real estate spot with everything favoring family/elder/military housing, even though we have 4 universities in satx.

That’s what the Alamo Dome was for. Now another building for the spurs again? I’m a tax payer. I don’t want this. Let the spurs owners pay for it, or business owner in downtown pay for it.
