I feel like much of what we've seen has just put Hamilton back a few years to where certain neighbourhoods were a gong show, but other parts of the city were more calm...my downtown/west end hood is seeing some ridiculous prices in recent listings and sales going full price.

Hamilton is NOT Vancouver or TO. If council stopped pandering to whiners, and actively pursued 10,000 new housing units to be built in the city ASAP, we would see a balancing of price points and rental vacancies. But Hamilton is still anti-business and the ON government is just a joke that couldn't operate an ice cream truck if it had to.
