Sorry, but no. Need to google a bit harder, and actually read posts carefully before responding.

Again, oil refineries offer lots of high paying jobs, and decrease gas prices. The next stadium taxpayer boondoggle does neither.

The same is true for the Marathon refinery. Your link has an article dealing with refinery air pollution and net new jobs being created from an existing refinery. It says nothing about gas prices nor existing jobs nor existing salaries.

How many jobs will be created by the arena project?

a). None, they are jobs moved from the Joe to Midtown.

b). Many, many, too many to count, as the project becomes a 'Midtown transformational' project which leads to hundreds and hundreds of new jobs near the arena, Comerica, etc. as lower Midtown, Brush Park, etc. become reborn, in large part, because of the ENTIRE arena project.

And not to mention all of the Ilitch Holding HOUSING UNITS which will house people [[say 1.5 persons / HU) and do all of the great, great things residences and population are supposed to do for an area.

OTOH, the refinery had an opposite effect on neighborhoods.

The only environmental issue [[from the arena) is all of the noise that happy fans produce after athletic events...

I like happy sports fans. Remember our 2006 World Series events. Crazy!!

Verdict: Arena, thumbs up; refinery, thumbs down.

Detroit wants a new arena, let Texas have the refineries...
