I expected no less from someone waiting for the City Centre to somehow be "unleashed" (from what exactly?). YXD is significantly closer (walking distance) to the Downtown, I doubt it would be turned into track housing + strip malls, especially with light rail going right through it (which Stapleton doesn't, yet). YXD has these things that I think will keep developers from suburbanizing it.

You're predicting things like Walmarts popping up when there is nothing even pointing in that direction for the site's redevelopment right now. Have the conservatives thrown their support for keeping YXD open? I know the other 3 have, but I dont know about the conservatives. Even if they did, that should mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as this is a MUNICIPAL issue and has NOTHING to do with things at the PROVINCIAL level.
