Given your derision for the term "small government", I'd guess you think this is a corrupt practice and that such infrastructure shouldn't be sold. But--at least to a small-government-er like myself--this seems like even better evidence that the municipality shouldn't be trusted with building these things in the first place.
Yea, I read that part. Unfortunately, great governments supported by a steady stream of good decisions is not an option on the table. We need to decide whether to begin government projects given that crappy and corrupt decisions will be made in the future.
