The infrastructure would have to be upgraded to develop this land at all. Are you a proponent of letting this prime real estate sit there for another 3 decades?

You raise some good points but your reaction is pretty aggressive, given the amount of things that you don't know.
Why is it a false dichotomy it isn't, either pay a bunch of money for the Flames or let the land sit for 30 years. There are probably many ideas that could be brought up on what to do with the land, stop making it a one or the other thing.
