An extra twenty minutes on your morning commute hardly qualifies as "keeping the west side of the city functional". First world problems, bro.
The white man made a deal with the natives way back when: we get all the natural resources and good land, you get some isolated patches of dirt called "reserves" to live on in abject poverty.
It shouldn't be there concern if the white man decides to build a city directly east of their reserve. Why should they feel any obligation to help us out? I really hope they keep the land, it is nice to see a group of people who can't be bought with money. If nothing else, it will make for some interesting reading from indignant white people who drive big expensive SUVs right here in this very thread.
