Update-Opinion-Political Dilemma

“With respect to the comments on “Political Dilemma” let me first of all say, that many in this city
would agree with the general overtones. Howbeit, there has been some positives in this City,
the Harbor font and the cleaning up of the Bay was a positive undertaking. The development
of the airport in it’s fundamental principals were positive. That being said, the present overtones
to this project, at this time, does not seem to in the best interests of Hamilton. Another issue that
does not seem transparent to this City are the issues of Green Space and amalgamation. 

Conceptually, both of these issues are wrought by political interests rather that for long term
benefits. Addressing the issue of amalgamation is short, this process will never be repeated,
as the province now recognizes all the negative impacts. Similarly, the gigantic sweep of green
space is within the same fault. We need to recognize the intensification is necessary to lower
the cost to City Services.

Howbeit, the issue of green space needs to be applies province wide, with some practical sense
for future growth. As it stands, those who are financially mobile and want to maintain their privacy
outside major cities will. Notwithstanding, Hamilton will suffer the greatest consequences considering
it’s vast rural area within the GTA. and will forfeit growth to cities like Brantford, etc..etc.. who are
outside green space, that will accommodate such living space. The reality is that though I have office
space in the City, and I were to make a move, it certainty would not be in downtown. Though well
establishes in the City, any serious considerations would be to live outside of the present boundaries
of the GTA.”
