The argument to pay them out for the lost value of their home should be solely based on promises made by the city which influenced decision making and therefore cost people money.
Agreed. If they paid $20k to people living in Mount Royal, who didn't own the land or have a lease, those Mount Royal residents would have done rather well. Also, if the Mayfair/Bel Aire compensation seems a bit shady and undeserved (which it does), this does not justify offering a similar deal to the residents of Midfield.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
