The reason for this article is the same as when you see an article about man bites dog -- something weird.  

Not sure about an ideological origin, but what does that matter?  And the article was not about the success of Providence Park, for even that was a failure given the first go-round 15 years ago.

But I guess that you have a religious argument rather than ideological.  And your religion tells you that those in the government have god-like qualities that let them see how much happiness their project is going to create in addition to the financial payback.  Yeah, great government, that.
