I remember the first time I went to TO, I was struck by all the screaming homeless guys and gangs of punks fighting on the street and some guy taking a piss on the road etc..... it's all perspective. I'd much take that than some crappy whitebread town like oakville.

You seem to be the only person on the board who seems to like (or at least not mind) the "mix of people" in downtown Hamilton. Which part of Toronto is it that struck you so? I can't imagine that any part of Toronto gets the same reaction.
I believe that the "mix of people" in downtown Hamilton, particularly in and near Gore Park, is pretty unique and is enough to turn off both big city and small town folk.
