I'd say Hamilton fear not this threat lol
but I completely agree with you that growth should be planned and controlled.... just not silly things like height and location..... if someone wants to build something and make a statement here in Hamilton please let them .... as long as the design has some thought and consideration
I feel like some residents in Hamilton are acting as if they are judge and jury

Back in the 70's and 80's Toronto had quite stringent planning controls including height restrictions. Selling off the rights to airspace was part of the market back then. It's only been in the last 15 - 20 years where growth has been unchecked and largely due to the OMB who have taken a more active role in the approval process.
