I don't know how that is even possible. Blinded by your distaste for Nenshi perhaps?

What you're pointing out is part of the problem.
In a
negotiation between two parties, if you have a problem with what group1 asks, group2 generally needs to come up with a helpful counter to keep the discussion going.
I agree with what you're saying - that Nenshi has been nothing but forthright with the fact he is against the project from the beginning.
That being said, making decisions on any proposal based off his personal opinion is not the mayor's job - he is supposed to be a professional and open-minded when dealing with the business of running the city - something he has not been. It's possible he's not the smartest person in the room (though good luck convincing him of that).
