More development and condos = more commercial/retail, luxury condos, more money invested in the area, etc... It's a win win for the residents if you ask me.
Hamilton won't see growth until residents wake up and realize that these developments will only increase the values of their businesses and properties....

Again, I place blame squarely on the shoulders of everyone at city hall. Every city on earth (including Toronto) has groups of whiny residents who think they're the only ones allowed to live in their city.
The different is - those cities want to be successful, prosperous and keep growing as they compete in a global marketplace.
Hamilton has NO leaders at any level as far as I can tell....we might as well build a Great Wall of China around the city slowly rot - city hall policies effectively produce the same result.
