Good to see that changing, especially since so many visitors experience it as a result of the proximity to the GO Station.

Should we expect this to improve with the increased tax revenue we will be getting with all these condo buildings? And will the money we save on infrastructure along KLing because of the LRT help at all?
You are right, downtown Hamilton looks so rundown because it's just not looked after. I don't think downtown Hamilton actually lacks wealth, it just appears to.
