You are satisfied with everything as you see fit from funding to concept to remediation to location to design? Glad you have low standards for this city. I don't. Like I said, if they pay for the whole thing they can build whatever they like. If tax money is to be used and I have no choice in that regard (I'd prefer no money, I can live with the clean up cost though), then I want the money to be spent on a high quality facility(s).

Take a couple deep breaths, come down from your temper tantrum and look at the big picture here.
This is an initial proposal that is far from what the finished product will be. We are a long ways away from completion and many things will change along the way. Every arena district in North America has some form of tax money going towards it. To expect a project of this size to not is just silly.
You want high quality facilities? What exactly gives you the impression that these facilities won't be of high quality? All we have seen is a couple early renders with little to no facts. It's way too early to get worked up about things like that.
Obviously this project won't please every single person in every single way, but this is a good starting point and something this city needs.
You say I don't have high standards for this city and you do? Yet you would rather just keep as is and have the Flames and the Stamps continue to operate out of McMahon and the Saddledome for the next 20 years? Calgary would become the laughing stock of the professional sports world.
