So you missed my other post just one page back when I quoted you, so I will try again, but why does the WV need a big anchor who will get all the CRL monies instead of developing the area?
This is PRIME real estate once the contamination is cleaned up.
If the Flames aren't paying for the clean up, we have no advantage of giving them this prime real estate as once a government pays for the clean up, the land is prime for anyone.
Then the CRL and the fact you are leeching money from the development of the WV buy building an arena:

If the WV is developed for CalgaryNEXT, the CRL goes to an arena, and all the other problems still exist, with less land to apply to CRL to as there is an arena taking up a massive chunk of the zone.
Developing the WV like the EV is a good plan and much more cost efficient for tax payers then building an arena.
CalgaryNEXT in the WV is silly.
