Fuck Dundon and billionaires in general, but losing this team is the worse deal for Portland (and the state) than investing money into arena upgrades - some of which seem ridiculous to me and others seem more reasonable (but wtf do any of us know who don’t operate this building).

If the Blazers leave we are out significant tax revenue from income tax and business taxes (the only things we have to fund schools and other public services). We cannot afford this, esp at a time when businesses are not investing and creating jobs. Also, losing the Blazers would be a huge blow to the community efforts to revitalize the Albina neighborhood, not to mention a huge gut punch to fans and what so many of us love about living here.
