It did not have potential, it was a disaster, and Ken King (and whoever else was in charge of that proposal) should have been fired that same day.

And this is the thing.
CalgaryNEXT was a great proposal, a revolutionary idea. Then they got to the photos...
But as soon as the 'Financial' slide came up the whole thing ground to a dead halt.
It was just so outlandish....it was like something a grade schooler would slap together for a project. Not even remotely grounded in reality.
And on top of it all, the people expected to approve and pay for the Lion's share of this wonderful fantasyland were just as surprised about it as everyone else.
