For sake of argument, say his report says that WH is not an option. Will you people accept that report? Or are you more likely to begin disputing it and saying where it is wrong and trying to convince otherwise? Young has gotten a report from people he trusts and is relying on that information, regardless of what the rest of us think.

At this point, it is difficult to believe that this 'report' even exists frankly. If it did, and if it made a solid case against WH, don't you think BY would have released it by now? Why are you asking us how we would react to a hypothetical report, when you should be asking why the ticats haven't made the report public if it supports their opposition to WH?

It is absolutely ignorant to expect a business to relocate simply because of the city...

Likewise, it is absolutely ignorant to expect a city to hand over a minimum of $100m (not to mention an additional $50-60m from other levels) without working with the city to ensure that there will be sufficient economic spin off benefits to justify such an enormous investment of public dollars.

and by the way the reason WH would lose money is because the Ticats would have to pay RENT....

Where on earth are you getting your info from? The only reason WH won't work for the cats is because it doesn't allow them to capture all possible revenue streams generated from the 'driveway to driveway' experience. At WH, they will have to share some of the economic benefits with the people who are putting up 99.9% of the funding. If their 'report' on the WH exists at all, it is likely that it lays the cats' cynical revenue grab bare, which is why they don't want to make it public.
