Sparks fly over the Lister Block

A passionate debate over the Lister Block

The trial of emotions, three divergent needs built upon each other. The Cities desire for “new” space, Hamilton’s
revitalization and Liuna’s desire for financial returns via the Lister block.  None of these issues by themselves are
unrealistic desires or needs, but tied together with political rhetoric propels the notion that these separate issues
can not stand on their own merit or are incompatible. The City has taken the position that it’s only redress to a
viable relocation is the high cost rental agreement with Liuna, without unilateral city bid for such that would provide
a realistic comparison. Secondly, the Lister block has torn the emotions of Hamilton for years in a Historical twist of
fate that has become the symbol of decay. To many, the Lister block is the rock that impedes the downtown revitalization.
Thirdly, Liuna’s desire to rejuvenate, rebuild the Lister block to a respectful and profitable accusation is within all bounds
of reasonableness. Perhaps, these issues need to be examined as seperate issues, the City need to seek “new” tenders
for it’s needs. Liuna must reacess it’s ability to find sufficent tennents at rates that are competitive to meets it’s objective.
The citizens of Hamilton need to be assured that they are getting the best value for their tax dollars and ponder the reality
of the need of sustainability for the long run.
