Hamilton was a regional city, only barely still is because of the hospitals, schools and government offices. There is nothing in the Standard Life anymore but a couple Federal agencies. So I still go there. Noticed the waterfalls is turned off. I started a while ago taking photos of the directories of downtown office buildings. It's pretty sad to see the tenants of those buildings.
Hamiltons pop looks like it is growing because of the growth in shitholes like Binbrook. Wards 1 to 5, {I think 6 is barely hanging onto growth} are and have been losing pop. since the late 70s. I am tired of hearing "the potential", "turning the corner" crap. A few buildings got built in the last three decades and suddenly Hamilton has to worry about too much density and height to try to preserve what exactly.?
Sorry but Jason Thorne's #itsthelittlethings is pathetic. No it;s not, maybe for Caledonia. It is the big things. Hamilton and its head of development think making a loading/unloading zone for musicians will make Hamilton turn the corner.
