Hi Staitus,

Again, nothing much to disagree with in your comments, although your assertion that high salaried workers were attracted by the Canadian/World economy rather than urban planning is curious. I'm not entirely sure what you mean. As I'm sure you're aware, the Richard Florida view is that creative class types (which would include some elements of high salaried workers) move to cities for the living environment as much as they do the work on offer. I doubt Toronto would have been able to retain (or even attract) as many high paying industries if the town did not provide a good quality of life for its residents. The two are intrinsically linked in my view.

You're moving to Hamilton? You should write for RTH. You have some very original and insightful views.

Cheers

Ben
