They're not wrong. I think CMLC did a great job with the East Village, and part of the Flames playing in Victoria Park with an upgraded 17th Ave and entertainment district is a fantastic idea.
I really, really want the West Village too, but that is just such a boondoggle that it would take an act of god for that to work. But the Flames are sticking to it and won't really budge. Must really want all that delicious parking revenue.
