Politically, I think Nenshi alienated a lot of people who worked in the Home Building industry and understand how subsidies work and saw how badly Nenshi 'Dumbed down" the issue to make it seem like Tax Payers were subsidizing Millionaire Developers.
People fail to realize that Nenshi received less than 80% support in the election. Had he run on his record or 'status quo', I feel he would have been re-elected with closer to 90%.
(This guy was a friggin hero during the floods for crying out loud).
So for him to receive less than 80% in the polls says something about his Ego getting the best of him.
This wasn't "City of Calgary Taxpayers" vs Home Builders led by Cal Wenzel.
I felt this was more like "Nenshi vs. Home Builders led by Cal Wenzel".

Thats because there are still alot of ignorant red necks in Calgary. If Nenshi was white he would have gotten over 90% of the votes.
