I find it kind of funny. I was watching Brainchild the other night and one of the exercises they did was to have people spend $5 on a raffle ticket, and then later somebody would come by and offer them $10 or $15 for that raffle ticket. Nobody would sell it. Not even to pocket the extra money and go buy another raffle ticket. The reason I thought of this is, even if you're on the No side of this, why wouldn't you just vote "Yes", and then AirBNB your place for 2 weeks and reap the rewards, and then move to Airdrie or Okotoks if you don't want to be on the hook for any cost overruns.
