I'm confused, we need roads, transit, walmart and downtowns. That is what a community is about. Suburbs house downtown office workers. Walmarts serve suburban residents to cut commute times to meet their needs thereby reducing CO2 emmission. It is ridiculous to think that the suburbs (which I'd like to remind everyone are older then old Hamilton in this community)don't bring in assessment and taxes and jobs and a quality of life many people are looking for. If we don't provide opportunity and choice here then it will pass us by and we'll continue to die a slow death. We have a lot going for us. We're living in 2007 not 1907. I don't see Hamilton as a poster child for urban sprawl look at places like Vaughn etc. Sprawl is unplanned growth. The growth in this City is planned. I don't think people really understand what urban sprawl is. I can't believe how pessimistic some people are and how you're creating such a divide in this community. The us vs them, conspiracy theory is negative. Lets come together as one community and move forward.
