Frank im sorry but you missed my point. Im saying that they need to cutt down on the strip clubs and seedy bars so they dont attract the wrong type of people downtown. Im sorry if I have offended anyone but look at what other cities have done, sure Toronto has a few downtown but thats because its a bigger city, it can get away with things like that because they are more spread out. Hamilton decided to put them in a huge cluster. Thats not helping anyone, Ive spoken to someone who lived in a shelter. No one is getting helped they enable people who stay their to keep them unemployed (which is simple in this city because its near impossible to find any kind of employment anywhere in this city unless you want to go to a temporary placement) I work full time , pay my bills, buy my food. I am not suffering by any means. and I should correct myself in the wording I've used for someone whos less fortunate then me , your right its a bit harsh to call anyone trash but I was caught up in the moment. I mean instead of worrying about building that huge condo that never will get built why not worry about first fixing the homeless problem and the run down bars? I like the whole Gorepark as central downtown thing where christmas they have things going on , and they have charities and public entertainment. Those kind of things draw people in. But we need to focus on drawing in better business's into the equation, something brandname. keep the privatley owned stores, but also use some of those parking lots as spaces to build some buildings with brand names.
