I agree on transit and / or stadium.
I'm neutral on the NC. Any developer could have put similar buildings on that lot without a new CC in it, so the government would not have been on the hook at all. (Or maybe it wouldn't have been approved without that government backing...(see "Thiel".))
I won't weigh in on the value of the CC itself to the city.
I've always been pro-Nova Centre as far as seeing the overall structure get built. But as to the CC portion of the structure - I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
