If any government was willing to spend a few billion on it, any of these ideas are possible.
As it stands, the condos are REQUIRED to fund anything, either in the previous plan (one massive site with a public component supported by condo profits), or the current one (piecemeal condo development, with the NCC reaping fees to be spent on a public component at a later date).
So, who's voting for increased income taxes this November? That's what it will take.

Why can't they just hand over the land for someone to build an arena. Of course it would need to be self-sustaining... but without land cost could it be a go?
Of course a bunch of yelling and screaming will occur... but taxes wouldn't have to be touched.
