The improvements at the airport aren't being subsidized by "all" Austin taxpayers. They're paid for with revenue generated by the airport, including landing fees, the $4.50 PFC (Passenger facility charge) rental car fees, parking revenue, concession sales, etc.
The only Austinites that are subsidizing the improvements at the airport are the ones who use the airport.
