Sure, but how is a speed skating oval 99.9% of the city will never use going to help? The fieldhouse I can't dispute as being more valuable, but really that's the only facility that is worthy of investment as a public health facility. So I suppose the real question is how do we get the fieldhouse without the $1billion handout to Securitas and G4S? I think it'd be pretty cool the not have to incur the $1billion to get a $200 million facility, but maybe that's just me. The problem I will never stop having is we can't get these things because we need them. Only for the Olympics. It speaks to how pathetic and weak most politicians are.
