Gore Park

[crhayes]

There are a few people on this forum who are blinded by advocacy for Hamilton (I'm sure you know who). Of course the City is going to have bums and homeless people, but we are saying get them the @&$% out of Gore Park. Gore Park is never going to be the 'Social Center' of the city as long as the low lives of Hamilton are congregating there. Get them to return to Barton Street or Concession street and then we can return Gore to it's 'glory'.

I worked construction at a shoppers on the corner of College and Young downtown Toronto for serveral months, and ate lunch outside. Yes, in absolute numbers there are more sketchy people in Toronto than Hamilton. But you can't look at it that way considering the population is 5 times greater. Relatively Toronto has much less sketchy people than Hamilton. For ever sketchy person on the street in Toronto, at least you have about 20 normal people walking around shopping and contributing to society. It isn't like that in Gore Park. Gore Park is dominated by sketchy people who appear to do nothing more than ask for money and buy cigarettes.
