“…In such a political landscape, a small group of citizens prefer exclusive services for which the general public would have limited access. This results in special districts privately meeting such service preferences through their exible geographical boundaries, yet without creating improvements in any traditional public service infrastructures (Burns, 1994;Foster, 1997;Perry & Donoghue, 2021).…”

General-purpose governments have increasingly relied on creating special districts to provide specialized public services to subsections of their jurisdictions. There are many presumed advantages of pursuing this strategy, including displacing some of the own-source tax burden associated with providing such services with outside revenue sources. This goal is feasible, as special districts are usually formed across overlapping tax bases across multiple jurisdictions. However, this empirical analysis of 51,000 special district governments in the U.S., collected over the past four decades, finds that increased special district proliferation has generally resulted in decreased financial conditions of general-purpose governments. These empirical results demonstrate that claim public goods provision through special districts produces indirect financial stress on general-purpose governments that must then struggle to use less efficient methods for providing the same or similar services to their under-served citizens who are not covered by the special district.

Over the past decade there has been increasing research on how sporting mega-events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth Games are developing strategies, norms and rules to govern how they impact the host nation, city and communities, and in particular their impacts on economic, social, physical, human and cultural capital. This paper addresses a gap within these interconnected fields by examining how the strategies, norms and rules used to govern a mega-event may impact the social and physical capitals of communities in the host city during and following a mega-event. These associations are revealed through a novel methodology that combines the Institutional Grammar Tool developed by Crawford and Ostrom and the Community Capitals Framework devised by Flora and Flora, to analyse policy documentation, complemented by 11 in-depth interviews on the refurbishment of the Broadbeach Lawn Bowls Club as a venue for the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the City of Gold Coast, Australia.
