Basketball-team owner: We don't like our team's arena. We're moving immediately unless you build a new one.
City: OK, even though you owe us money for that old arena - which is perfectly usable -- we've spent thousands of dollars to rush out a a plan to build you a new one, and we'll pay for it with money that would otherwise go to pay for emergency services.
