You have no idea how I would respond to a hypothetical situation.

But, you don't get it. The city was pretty clear that they don't want the West Village to be built right now, lest the EV gets cannibalized. They also don't want to use the CRL revenue on the arena when the entire area needs new infrastructure spending. Also, given the lack of land in the WV, they don't want the CRL potential to be gutted by the black hole of an arena.
Also adding in the cost of cleanup and the accelerated version increasing the costs by a large amount, i dont understand why this issue is bothering you.
They spent four months reviewing the proposal from CalgaryNext. Four months... four a government organization... that is lightspeed.
