Sorry you all live in a dream world where money grows on trees. There are over 2 million tax payers who do not live in edmonton who do not care if this gets built or not. If we push the matter and go for extra money to make the RAM's design match, or exceed the standard set by the AGA, then we risk the whole scheme failing and being stuck with the current RAM... Another option may be a donation campaign like the one for the AGA. This all takes time though, which because of the election it seems like we dont have...
At no time was there an implication of architectural comparison. But an objective opinion.

A donation drive might be a good idea to elevate the quality of design...Hummm.
