This is what I'd like to see -- as someone born and raised in Hamilton, currently a non-resident Hamilton homeowner.
And as a Toronto resident, I'd say the GTA already does a mess of a job managing the somewhat diverse areas it encompasses -- and I don't believe they'd do any better with Hamilton (which is very different from the GTA 'cities' in my opinion). My view might be skewed by the fact that I lived in Toronto pre-amalgamation too. Many of the attempts to bring consistency across the region have seemed ridiculous, as are many of the remaining inconsistencies.
