I'm not phased by "A sign of the times" or his/her/its trolling. It's a safe bet By-Law Crawl will do more to help the state of the downtown core than more counterproductive whining about "the poors", or anything else this scumbag can say to goad me. What have you done to fix the downtown core lately? (anonymously shitting on other people's efforts doesn't count.)

You've completely misread the intent of the crawl too- I'm not focussing on "struggleing" [sic] landlords and store owners who are doing the right thing. I'm going after owners of vacant and derelict properties who aren't being responsible- they don't house productive tennants or maintain their buildings properly. If you actually frequent the downtown core and talk to the neighbours of these properties, you'll know many of them feel the same way and want to see action. If they properly maintain their buildings and contribute to the vitality of the downtown, there's no reason they should have to put up with a negligent owner next door, driving away business and posing a potential safety risk.
