Have you spoken with the Oregon Humane Society ? Explained what you need ? <| sep |> Although the City didn ' t pay for PacBell Park , it did cost the city millionsover $ 140 million according to a 2005 report 4591 . PacBell does bring in millions in tax revenue , but it ' s not revenue that wouldn ' t otherwise go to the city . If PacBell didn ' t exist , there is no question that the land it sits on , among the most valuable pieces of land in the country , would be occupied by commercial andor residential buildings , which would have generated hundreds of millions in tax revenue for the City . The Giants have profited enormously from the park . It cost them $ 175 million to construct the rest was paid for by naming rights , season ticket holders , etc . , and were on schedule to fully repay their construction loan about $ 17 millionyear until they refinanced their loan a few years ago to fund even more development around the stadium . And more power to them ! I love the Giants , but my love for the team stops with the team . As for the Giants , Inc . , they are a business just like any other and should be treated as such . We don ' t feel grateful that Apple or Salesforce or Google build or rent or purchase their headquarters with their own moneythat is the expectation and if they sought taxpayer money to fund their office buildings , there would be howls of laughter . The Giants should have been expected to build their own stadium , and they should be expected to pay taxes on their stadium just as I pay my taxes on my condo and the bar down the street pays its taxes and the owners of any downtown building pays their taxes . Just because other cities have been suckers , bending over for their teams owners doesn ' t mean San Francisco should .
