Impact analysis
Local taxpayers are likely to see city funds diverted from regular services to cover the ballooning costs of emergency response and site management.
There are no clear beneficiaries, as the strain on resources creates a difficult environment for everyone involved.
Local residents are feeling the squeeze as city resources are pulled away from everyday community needs to manage the crisis.
