All I seem to talk about is the city doing other than what they're doing? Not sure what you mean there. haven't spoken much about the city, but disappointment with the mayor's attitude.

I wish they would have countered in some way and not just said nope, but that's just me.

That's a far more egregious failure than the mayor being adversarial for a few months.
This kind of thinking has always bugged me. You're applying your filter to what I think and telling me I'm pretty much wrong for thinking differently. That's not all that constructive.

I think they're both making a mess of things, I can't believe how many people feel the need to break that down and tell me I have a bias or I'm tinted or simply wrong for thinking these two guys have both let the city down.

Seems there's more a bias in not being able to let something like that go then the other way around.

And now I'm naive?

This pro city side has to take a deep breath and realize there are no saints in this chaos. I don't like how Ken King has presented this at all, and I've said that. I wonder how much he made up along the way and if he's in any hot water with team ownership, or if this honestly the way they thought they should set out.

But Nenshi has had a quite a year of arrogance when you take Uber and the "just math" insult and add it to his handlings of the building.

I wish we could bounce both of them and start over with two new leaders.
