Truth hurts, but there it is.

More "have nots" in the core = diminished incentive for "haves" to spend time and money there = diminished economic base = diminished economic development.

Sure, an influx of the "disadvantaged" may mean the cheque cashers, shawarma joints and urban clothing stores get a minor boost in business, but the downtown has the potential to be so much more than that.

Everyone knows it, but everyone in power - council, staff, the property hoarders (so-called "developers") - are conspiring against it.

Great article, Reg.
