Generally Hamilton is very unusual in Ontario by having a significant amount of as of right density, most municipalities have existing zoning being very restrictive.

Thank you everyone that shared information, much appreciated. I'm left thinking that the demand to develop across the lower city just isn't quite there yet, unlike neighbouring cities... if there's great as of right zoning. How is a street like Barton not seeing more development in place of all the decrepit store fronts? Is the demand/interest in Hamilton just not there yet?
