And it's not about whether you want the Flames around or you don't, it's whether you think it's worth it. I love the Flames. I want the Flames around. But I also want a better sell for them being around than getting to say I live in the city the Flames play in. Because whether we want to admit it or not, this money is buying the Flames presence here, but it's also giving up other things. So it has to justify itself beyond "Flames here. That nice." Right? Please? It's not that I don't think it's worth it, it's that I don't know, and everyone telling me it is are basically saying "just trust me, it feels good." Cool.

What are we giving up in exchange? What projects have been shelved or are in danger if they proceed with this?
