And are doomed to fail?
Halifax is one of the better cities in the country to hold large scale events that why the Commonwealth games bid was awarded to us and we turned it down. A international body that's sole purpose is to figure out if a city can handle LARGE scale sports events awarded it to us over Mumbai, but no we shouldn't build a sensible sized stadium to accommodate 25 000 of our 400 000 or the 1.5 million within 6 hours proximity, because the heavy water plant was a bust, that makes perfect sense to me.
I am 26 and missed the meetings because I had a lecture to attend and work the 2 other days, I was excited to see that some of the older generation that owes a bit of sensible action to the younger generation because Yes, the list goes on of failed projects that have saddled US, the younger generation with such a large debt but that doesn't mean we close up shop and count our pennies, it means we need to be more ambitious and more innovative to create the wealth needed to pay it back not austerity.

Agreed, well put. How many young people have to work evening shifts at low paying retail jobs, or were studying that couldn't attend.
