Thank you all for the reminder that you are all better than the rest of society. It amuses me that you attempt to validate your arguments by using the same negativity and same descriptors that you accuse others of using against the city. I can appreciate that you prefer to live in the environment you live in--I respect that--in fact, you seem downright passionate when it comes to talking about urban living--I can't understand why the positives don't stand on their own. I enjoy where I live and I assure you that any list of reasons why would not include a long list of reasons why I "hate" the city.

I actually agree in spirit with you on both the height ban and the clothes line ban (though neither are particularly rare or exclusive to Ancaster). For all the times that I have been accused of being a s***-disturber, this thread has turned on a dime--turning with incredible speed from a forum about a hotel being built in Ancaster to a tirade about your distaste (or utter hatred) of anything that isn't in the "old" City of Hamilton--and below the escarpment only. There is a far greater number of business travellers coming into and out of the Hamilton area on a daily basis than many people realize--and depending on who and where they are visiting--a good majority right now end up staying in Brantford or Burlington. A full-service, business-oriented hotel like this is a long-time coming for this area in particular. I would expect more projects to locate near it within short-order.
