CalgaryNEXT was a nice idea in the avenue of "lets make this area better", but a poor concept in terms of timing and design.

Saying "cost aside" is also kind of silly when cost is the crux of this entire back and forth.

We can also compare the negatives of arrogance vs contempt. Because sure, the mayor is arrogant, but King is treating the tax base of this city with borderline contempt and clearly with false magnanimity. Acting like they're doing a massive service for the city by taking a bunch of money.
