Shelter, food, education, and standard of living should be raised for middle class or poor before we construct a Disneyland. Our government needs to check on their priorities.
Have you ever seen how a theme park works? Plus, its not an "expense", it a Chinese investment!!!! And what's wrong with taking the free investment? The investor specializes in theme parks. Why would they built stadiums or hospitals when their core business is theme parks?
Do you know how big the Disney is? Its worth over $ 140 BILLION dollars!! Much larger than many countries budget!!!! You know how many jobs Disney Land Orlando provides to the people (just one location)? Over 20,000 jobs, JUST to run its parks in Orlando!! With weekly guests topping hundreds of thousands. And this means the City's hotels, motels, rental car, restaurants, bakeries, stores, shopping centers, ALL stay packed due to hundreds of thousands of visitors coming in every week.
There are 4 large sized malls within 5-7 miles of Disney. Usually, there is ONE mall every 5-7 miles throughout the US.
So Disney supports neighboring cities hotels, rental car, airports, resort, golf courses, pizza stores, gas stations, gift shops, you name it. So outside of 20000 "Cast Members", (reference to Disney Employees), there are over half a million employees outside of Disney, who are somehow associated to businesses supporting Disney, who make a good permanent living.
Did you know that due to the theme parks being SO busy, and crowded, Disney funded their own top line hospital? And there are two others within a couple of miles? All to support Disney's guest population? And then you have the regular schools and universities in the neighboring cities supporting Disney employees families?
Who why not make the $ 50-100 million profit every year and keep supporting over half a million employees in three cities supporting Disney? It will actually help grow the real estate, shopping, more hospitals, universities, etc,etc. Tourism and theme parks are fun and they provide serious amounts of profits and business activity to many secondary businesses!!
