I disagree. There isn't another plan on the table right now that I know of so what was the city going to compare it to? Some hypothetical dream proposal?
While you're right that it's not logical for a city to leave that land as it is inperpetuity nobody's is saying that... frankly, what it sounds like you're saying is that something needs to be done with it "Right Now" which isn't the case. It's not disingenuous for the city to include all the externalities is the project cost estimate for CalgaryNext, I think it would be more disingenuous (in the sense that dis-ingenuousness is commonly regarded as deceit) to leave it out and mislead the citizens (who they actually serve) to the full actual cost of the project.
