But as far as I've read it was 50/50 and the city wanted out of that. I think the "cold feet" discussion in that is semantics isn't it?
Weren't the extra costs originally capped at like $25M each?

Then it became clear that buffer was insufficient, CSEC absorbed that risk in exchange for booting CMLC (and a few other concessions?)



If both sides are somehow getting a 'raw deal'...then maybe it just doesn't make a lot of sense. The decade of inaction/poor action from CSEC kinda contradicts the notion that this is anywhere near an existential crisis.
