Hamilton definitely has a future and the main reason is because of where it is located: it is down the road from Toronto and close to the US border and Buffalo. Plus it is situated on a spectacular great lake. These advantages are substantial.

Hamilton eclipses the geographical advantages of, say, Pittsburgh, which although a wonderful place to live has the disadvantage of geographical isolation. It is not in a well-established crescent of dynamic cities like Hamilton. Pittsburgh's closest major city is Cleveland, whereas Hamilton has Waterloo, Toronto, Oakville, etc. Hamilton's neighbourhood is overall more attractive and much more likely to produce jobs in future.

So even if Hamilton is poorly run in the short term, eventually, its natural geographical advantages will help it develop in interesting ways.
