Regardless of disagreement on any other point, this rings true to me. So the question is how best to go about funding that cost - or at least, taking a big chunk out of it. Could it be the location of infrastructure related to a winter olympics, for which funding could be secured from other levels of government?
I do think people need to stop looking at this from the perspective of "what will cover the costs of cleanup". Probably no project for that area will do that. But the cleanup still has to happen, and delaying increases those costs. So if we're agreed that leaving that area undeveloped indefinitely is not an option, what is the best option to deal with it?
