I don't think that is what the poll says at all. 40% of people say #### off if the flames threaten to move.
If the question was changed to how much are you willing to pay to fund an arena I think the number would be difference.
I would suspect there would be broad based support for a property tax exemption/reduction for a Flames owned arena and paying for the supporting infrastructure to allow for Roads and Transit to properly service the building. And to have the rest of the site ready for complimentary development.
I doubt many would have an issue with the city underwriting the ticket tax loan either.
