Imagine the outrage from CSEC apologists if the City had dismissed CalgaryNext as you suggested.
I guess I don't have issue with the city's response because one of the weakest aspects of the Calgary Next proposal was the lack of accounting for all the related costs. So the City tried to do that. To say that they wrongly allocated all those costs to the project is I suppose correct, but seems like a reasonable response and closer to reality than the Flames proposal.
Those are real costs that needed to be incurred. I don't see a problem with spending time to come up with a real price tag.
