They could also make a crane with a wrecking ball one of the pieces

I wonder if they'll modify the rules for this edition so that I can buy property in Hamilton and carry it over from game to game, hoping that it's value will increase?

I voted for Hamilton, Winnipeg and Yellowknife :)
@jason: haha. That is pretty funny.

Could we get the "free parking" spot?

My kids said "No, don't vote Hamilton on-- they'll make us Baltic Avenue or something!"

LOL, spot on.
I think though, that the city's board placement is also based on the voting (i.e. 1st place gets to be Boardwalk while 20th is Baltic)
And jason, who even needs a wrecking ball? As long as you've drawn a "lax enforcement" or "understaffed building department" chance card, you can just leave it till it falls down.

I can see some changes needed for the Hamilton version:
I want the playing piece that looks like a little scooter

@ Zippo
I find the reference to vowels offensive, not to mention misleading. I'm pretty sure there were more English/Scottish than Italians at City Hall in the 50s through the 70s when the wrecking balls started arcing.

Replace hotels with Horton's franchises and houses with crack houses and your 'Hammer' square might fetch $60(0) in rent;)

I also vote for Hamilton. I hope many have the same opinion.
