The GOP argument is kind of highlighted here. Your city didn't have to spend any of its own money. while a business would have had to spend millions to build then to maintain. A business must have ROI and profit to survive(due to inflation). Your city doesn't need to any of that.

That's not true though. The gov pays the providers as well.
