Your rivals also criticize you for not putting forward a credible plan for transit expansion. Are you planning to build subways?
Ford: Sure I’m going to build subways. If we get federal and provincial money, great, but I’m not going to wait on that. We’re going to use the private sector, the developers who want to develop the air rights. So I’m going to sit down with the business people that I know how to deal with my expertise in business to get these subways built.
Have you costed out what the air rights are worth?
Ford: You’re going to have give them the air rights, and then you’re going to have to sit down, negotiate deals that they build the subways and you let them develop the air rights above the subways, either be it commercial buildings, apartment buildings, condos, whatever it may be. That’s something you’re going to have to negotiate with them. My transit plan will be coming shortly and you will be seeing it in hard copy. I’m focusing on spending right now, that’s the number one issue. Right now my No. 1 issue is trying to get the money back for Kyle Rae’s party. People are very upset.
