It's Not Complex - Raise the Hammer

It's Not Complex

By Jason Leach
Published September 20, 2005

Sprawl

Kudos to Hamilton Council for approving a four-storey apartment complex on Wilson St. in Ancaster. Members of council noted that this project is in keeping with provincial goals of intensification.

It's exactly the type of thing we need to see more of throughout the Hamilton region, especially after decades of low density sprawl and horrible planning.

Jason Leach was born and raised in the Hammer and currently lives downtown with his wife and children. You can follow him on twitter.
