Hamilton's problems stem from bad stigma. There aren't many examples in life where you can simply break complex problems into a simple explanation -- but in this case it's very simple.

Hamilton has recently received much positive review (ie. Globe and Mail, The Hour) and now we are starting to see improvements: Hamilton Grand, focus on other Hamilton features (ie. Waterfall promotion, volunteer engagement, etc), a fighting public for an NHL team (yes, we've gone after NHL teams in the past, but never with this much anticipation nor positivity surrounding).

Hamilton developers that 'flatten' will be pushed out as our stigma improves.

The absolute best thing you could do for Hamilton is to mention it's positive attributes, appreciate the significance of the negative but not baste yourself in it.

When the knee-jerk reaction to the word "Hamilton" rests, we will be in a better position to channel what we want and don't want (ie: better transport, better urban planning).
