Also, the city is good at making readers think what the city wants you to think. When has a project costing plan included interest in the final cost? Look at some of the big proposals that got pushed through, the library or the airport tunnel, they talk about financing costs but it's never included in the total expenditure. It's almost like the city tried to inflate the cost as much as possible to scare off readers immediately.
Not the first time the city did something like this in an analysis. They did the same shell game in the airport tunnel analysis. I picked it apart years ago:

Disclaimer: While I like the location of CalgaryNEXT, I do not like how much public contribution is going into it even prior to this report, which is a bit of city BS imo. |
I know weird, right? It's almost like the city felt they should have been consulted with and treated like a partner in these plans or something. What arrogance!
