It just doesn't say modern city to me.
The East Village was embarrassing now it's becoming very cool. I'm not saying the city should take the deal as it stands, but I hope something happens in the West with or without an arena project to do the same.
I think Calgary deserves it.

They disagree with using the valuable land on a new arena.
Two different things.
