"(e.g. Lister Block FINALLY got saved and renovated, for example) -- but the pace is finally gradually picking up." Yes but at what cost to the taxpayers of Hamilton. Please read the leasehold agreements the city has as well as the final purchase price of this building in 20 + years from now. The taxpayers will be paying an exorbitant amount of money for this property to the investors. Only until the City paid up did these developers (Liuna I think) bring that building back to its old glory in a short period of time. In no way will the overpayment of this property justify what council has done. LRT will NOT revitalize Hamilton. But investing in the infrastructure in Hamilton and surrounding areas is the purpose of our tax dollars. Lets keep city hall out of the Private investment market.
