I'm new to this but my daughter read the comment above and brought it to my attention since she has heard me "go on and on about how Hamilton used to be". I do remember the SOS Committee and was at the Council Meeting when Mr Greenwood made his remarks that were poo-poohed by the pro-corporate group led by messers Merling and Bethune, to name but two, both of them Mountain boys who couldn't care less about Progressive Downtown Planning. If memory serves me Greenwood also stated that if you want to keep a city alive then people must have access, thus his bid for a mix of business and residential and green space. I believe that the above named concillers referred to him as a "Commie", the price that a progressive Labour Leader had to pay in the 1960's and '70's from Aldermen who hadn't a clue how to deal with intelligent debate. Haven't heard of Harry for many years but if he is still around he should know that there are still some of us left to remember the good work that he and the others on the SOS committee did in the fight of "Hamilton's Progressive Citizens versus Pro-Corporate Development City Councl.
