Can people stop bringing up the "how many people visit X for solely X" argument. It's so annoying. I'm a little disappointed that Nenshi would make such a tunnel visioned comment.

It's still an extremely valid point regardless. When you are talking about using taxpayer money at this kind of level (1/3rd of a BILLION $$), return on said money should most definately be part of the decision. I am aware that not all of the value can be tanglible in the ledger book, but it most certainly can, and should, be a big chunk.
