I would like to be 100% crystal clear that my statement was not in any way directed as you imply and I hope the collective CP community saw it differently than you.
The process and length of resolution with the ride sharing situation compared to other cities compounded by his statements on camera as well as the taxi license market being hit hard which hurt those that were high up the most was why I made the statement.
This all came from reading about our previous mayor doing developers favors and how this mayor is great because he stands up to people. Whether it was the ride sharing situation, the public art debate, etc I am simply saying that Nenshi may stand up to developers (and have tax payers pay for his legal bill although I believe he may have paid back all or some from his own pocket), Nenshi certainly would have friends in other areas.
