Given the city's funding proposal for the Vic Park location was seen as 'bad faith' negotiating, I'm not sure people would accept "we will pay for something that isn't even in your funding model, and you pay the rest" as real negotiating.

They didn't have to say "we are really close". They had to say "those numbers aren't doable - let's see if we can figure something out".

Or they can say what they wanted. 'This isn't doable. Let's come up with something else, somewhere else.'
NEXT did not deserve negotiation.

Is the City's WV plan "doable" in your world?

Which one? The city is getting rid of the ARP to the best of my knowledge. But would a plan that doesn't involve an arena and stadium/fieldhouse taking up all the footprint and providing nothing to the CRL be doable in my world? Yes.
