Midfield is different completely. The city has spent ten years, 3 million capital dollars and an army of psychologists and counselors for the past year plus future social assistance costs for homeless residents and we are still screwing people over. How could you not think that's stupid? For a total cost of about six million bucks they could have developed the land a decade ago and made all residents capital whole.
But let's use the popular Midfield argument.....if there was a business plan for a private arena that works, it would already be built by the private sector. So see ya later Flames.

There was just a developer approved, however, they won't be able to build for a year. Which helps nobody in the park when they are going to be homeless in 15 days.
