When will Hamilton get it?? this type of private investment can only come when we choose specific and proper public investments in urban infrastructure. Suburbanites can call it subsidies or whatever they want (as opposed to their new highways) but the fact is, Hamilton will NEVER see 1.5 billion downtown until we get our heads out of our backside and quit listening to all these deadbeat skags from the 50's and 60's who ruined a bunch of our city then and continue to weild too much power and influence as they ruin more of our city today.
