You were the one saying that the City had no vision and were sitting back and doing nothing. They do have a vision....it's just not aligning with that of the Flames and people like yourselves.

They are not splashy pictures. They are tangible projects. Those rec were all approved in the summer of 2012....two of them are already open, two are currently under construction.
Collectively the price for all 4 was $480 million. These are the types of things that would not be able to be build with public funds if you spend a few hundred million on a private arena.
