Coun Davison agrees this decision is a no-brainer. It's about securing the quality of life for all citizens. Downtown property values have dropped $18 billion he says. Calgary's challenges are bigger than anywhere else in North America, he points out. #yyccc
Davison says this is about expanding the tax base, not boosting property tax rates. He says investors want security and once city gives that, it's job is to get out of the way.
By saying yes to the strategy and investing money, Davison says it will draw new investment and business to Calgary. #yyccc
To the detractors, Davison says doing nothing is not an option and will not result in success. #yyccc
