As a resident of the Locke & Aberdeen area, I would strongly oppose putting the stadium at MIP. A stadium would only drag my property value down, and it doesn't fit in with the existing environment. Other than the construction jobs, it wouldn't provide any significant employment for Hamilton. And no, I don't count the hundreds of min. wage concession stand operators that would call the stadium home significant employment.

A fully-realized MIP would provide lots of decent paying jobs, and drive up property values in my neighborhood and the entire Southwest part of town. It would also help bolster Hamilton's commercial tax base. There are very few good jobs in Hamilton, we need to provide desirable places for employers to establish their businesses. A stadium at the MIP would just take away from what little land we have available for that purpose.
