I find it pretty incredible that in one breath you say this ...

When it comes to matters like this, I don’t care about their opinion because they won’t listen to reason and don’t have the financial acumen to understand large capital funding even if they did. If economists wanted more time or a majority of the city councillors did, the i might be on board with it. You want to call me a bad person for that, go right ahead. I won’t lose any sleep over it.
... given that none of us has the foggiest idea about the demographic makeup of this large group of people. The point of the matter is that you have no idea how many of the vocal minority are educated, to what degree, and how many of them are actual economists. The willingness and hurry that you are in to stereotype a faceless, unidentified swath of people on the basis of ONE opinion is both astounding and disturbing. It is in fact not a good look. Not at all.
