In this case - humorously enough - yes. Nenshi is telling them to pay for his arena/vision. I'm sure he tells himself something like this...
"I have a dream... a dream where I will have this great legacy of an East Village Entertainment district."
"And at the heart of that district, I will have the Flames pay for an arena where I want them to put it, and it will be the cornerstone of the district, and legacy, and all will praise my name..." Blah blah...
Now, would this be the better or right solution? Could well be - but he is negotiating in as bad faith as King/Edwards... he just has the "public money" argument to alter public perception.

Or the Flames could just buy a piece of land, appropriately zoned, and build an arena. That would show Nenshi.
