EV projects either have a definite ROI (even if it is via CRL) or genuine+accessible public benefits. I think there probably was plenty of consultation, and it was also a situation of transforming the seediest area of downtown (ie. pretty hard to argue with spending some money to do this, even if you aren't totally in favour of every detail).
Not sure what you mean by fair deal...the impossibility of defining 'fair' is the very crux of the issue. To be honest though, I'd probably trust CMLC in determining 'fairness' about as much as anyone
