I agree with John Dolbec regarding the downtown panhandlers. I work in toronto and there are many panhandlers (probably more per capita than hamilton), however downtown t.o is not disproportionately low income (or full of lowlifes) as downtown hamilton is. This explains why the dt core is full of cheap crap stores. The Royal Cannot project is just another nail in the dt coffin. Middle class people do not want to spend time in such an area.

On another note, more dt streets need to become one-way (not all of them however). At the top of the list is Main and King. More one way streets is actually good for car traffic as it would be less confusing for people to navigate dt streets (one of the things that many out of towners complain about Hamilton is the one way streets). At night main street is dark and desolate. Who would want to spend time there??
