We're going to regret this for sure…

At this point, it is not a question of whether what is built will be of a certain quality. It may be a long time before anything is built at all- a lot of average Hamiltonians who are too busy to pay attention to these issues and who think they elect a city council to do it on their behalf are going to be amazed at the hole they have to soon look at every day, in the heart of their city. And the hole is going to be there for a long while.

They know nothing. They don't know the cost of the project, they don't know the timeline of the project, they don't even know what it is except for their "vision." If they claim it will be underway in three years, I shudder to think how long it will actually take.

I bet that the next stage of extortion concerning the three buildings not being demolished (yet) will be even more frustrating.
