Have you been to King W lately? It's definitely not slummy feeling and commercial tenants are doing fine (I can't think of any empty retail spots along this stretch). There are a lot of students in the area (more with a these developments) to support them as they tend to not have cars and rely on walking distance restaurants and retail.

And I know we disagree on this - the buildings being super aesthetically pleasing don't really contribute to the livability of an area.

Regarding Hamilton being a black sheep -- how often are you in other cities? Every city is getting tons of fugly architecture in modern times.
