No man, it has a LOT to do with how people who have never actually gone through hamilton view it - of all the people I have spoken to that have never gone through hamilton and only seen it from the skyway bridge - 100% of them said it was because of the view of the factories that they had that perception of the city - it's huge, and you don't have to go THROUGH hamilton, to go BY hamilton.

The other stuff plays a role as well, but for those that make a blanket assumption, the factories are 100% the reason.

Sorry man, don't mean to argue but I really did want to drive this point home, because it's something that I have constantly been barraged with by others growing up. As someone who has lived here my whole life it's still a big issue for the perception of our city from those who know nothing about our city.
