In most western countries there are few state-run enterprises so there's little "government's money". There's taxpayer's money, and they care how it's spent.

Every time I think about that it strikes me as a dumb idea. Everything that cant be allowed to fail should be a government enterprise.

I would go nuts with the concept, turn city hall into a museum, hotel, grandcafe, restaurant, cinema, casino, conference rooms, desks for rent, city tour guides, etc etc open 24/7. Live music if there are no council meetings on the big screen. It should have a room to smoke weed too.

If you ignore how silly it sounds, what do you think the revenue will be like?
