I personally think Murray getting blown by the city and province is terrible and the arena money should be earmarked towards affordable housing. However, arguing with the pro-Murray side is like arguing with an anti-vaxxer. I still haven't seen a single article/study put forth by the pro side that supports their argument that cities benefit economically from subsidized arenas but they hand wave it away because they really don't care about the economics and just want to make sure the Flames stay in town.
Just be honest and don't hide behind crappy economic arguments.
