How else can these things go though? A lot of the issues are just realities aren't they?
Both buildings are old, hard to argue that.
They need new ones.
They're trying to find a solution that works for everyone. I cringe when King speaks but I also get that without city involvement they won't build a new football stadium, and the new rink will be near Airdrie (example), and the west village and creosote issue will just lay dormant.
I'm all for a new building downtown, both selfishly and as a Calgarian with pride. I don't think either side should pay for all of it given the issues. Hope this whole thing doesn't get so polarized that it grinds into the ground and goes away.
