Supporting infrastructure projects does not = kids dying due to health care capacity issues. Health care can be supported along with infrastructure projects to a growing city.
I stay out of the back and forth on the hate/justification for the deal but these takes are stupid.
The UCP is giving money for infrastructure around the building area and while it helps bridge the gap they are not paying the the event Centre directly, just creatively.
Prior to this announcement people were bitching that the UCP didn't provide urban investment in the budget proposal.
