Since the City owns most of the land in East Village, and in particular West Village, what is it to do with this land? Sell it for $1 like Vancouver did for the former Expo lands to Concord Pacific?

The City can accrue enormous benefits (financial and otherwise) from acting as land developer of these lands.

Besides, did Ric McIver not always vote in favour of the creation of CMLC, the East Village ARP, the Community Revitalization Levy and so forth???

40 years of NOTHING happening in East Village and now finally major progress, but for Dr. No - nah, a terrible idea.

Like the park and ride fee and other issues, suddenly he's against them now even though he voted for them.
