They don't want to own it. Owning it means [theoretically]: property taxes, liability for major repairs/renos, and eventual demolition costs.

They're not looking to reinvent the wheel, just find a way to pay for what is already approved to be built.

The location is exactly 0% of the problem here...funny how people immediately go there (though I know it's fun to sim-city it).
I've been on this forever, but I'd love to see them move it 2 blocks further north of current proposal. Swap bus-barns land with Remington and use the arena to 'bridge' the CP tracks. Closer to red/blue lines, existing parkades, and better for access/egress.
