"the totality of variables that add to or subtract from the living experience in a given community"

Nonsense. We all know there's only ONE variable that adds to or subtracts from the living experience in a given community, and that variable is PROPERTY TAX RATE. :P

"Big surprise. If tax rates were the lowest in the GTA, then he may have a point"

Ah, there we go. Back on message.

"more people want to live in Burlington than Hamilton"

Then why do more people live in Hamilton than in Burlington? Why is there a higher population density in Hamilton than in Burlington? Do people not live where they want? I'm so confused.

"Do home prices reflect demand from the buying public? If so, how do you explain Hamilton's lack of demand form the marketplace?"

Funny, I just sold my house in downtown hamilton for almost twice what I paid for it earlier this decade, and I sold it for what my asking price within two weeks of putting it on the market even though we're in a recession. (My new house is also downtown but closer to a proposed LRT stop.)

Fixing Hamilton's problems is a no-brainer
