1/ Under the cover of night, 8 of Calgary's #fiscalconservative councillors voted this past Tuesday to spend our money buying more needless, wasteful, expensive land in the distant edge development called Sirocco.

2/ They did so at 11pm after most Calgarians had gone to bed. They did so with the media focused on other #fiscalconservative shenanigans:

3/ They did so in spite of Admin's recommendation not to. They did so in spite of our oversupply of greenfield land.
They did so knowing this land will be YEARS, if ever, before it's developed & that we have no way of recovering acquisition and servicing costs.

4/ Acquiring this land follows this same councilâs approval of 14 sprawling, unneeded greenfield communities in July 2018, with Calgarians on vacation. https://www.sprawlcalgary.com/sprawlcast-calgarys-14-new-communities
These decisions add costs, raise our taxes, and deliver little in return.

/6 Come November, when the tough tough conversations on our budget gap are in full swing, how many of these #fiscalconservative councillors will point out that they voted for these unneeded, expensive land acquisitions as they call for service cuts?
