"Yes" or "No", I think we can demand better from our representatives in the government and of our city. I also agree that the process has been divisive, we can do better than this. We can take the time to put together a good, clear researched proposal that at least passes a business sniff test and gets all levels of government on the same page.

We don't need to slap something together and then rush and force people to vote,

This.

I wouldn't hate seeing a bid for 2030 that actually has all their ducks in a row and presented properly.
