You really couldn't make it up.
Like many such (vanity) initiatives, I have yet to see how the local communities benefit financially. All too often it's a case of The Emperors New Clothes because those in office lack the testes to admit they've lost our money. Ultimately, the local taxpayer pays for the vanity and incompetence of those in office.
Now, if we made them personally responsible for turning a profit, I bet things would change!
