Most of the 'no' side isn't against this idea. It's the idea that the risks involved would likely over run any benefit from investment. Or at least the levels of government and Bidco didn't dispel those fears with the information made public.

Lots of industries and thousands and thousands of citizens would have benefitted from that infrastructure getting built. Lots. This would have been the shot in the arm that this city needs. Oil and gas isn't the only industry in this city that matters. Not sure where those thousands of jobs will now be found elsewhere.
