Having a point of view is one thing but being so entrenched in a position that you lose all perspective is something else entirely.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I was surprised at how Red Hill supporters ripped me for my comment praising this new plant and stating my desire to see the entire business park filled up.

My only sidenote (complaint) was regarding the sprawl that is putting us tens of millions in debt. Apparently you're right - some people have lost all perspective and think that's its a wonderful thing to bankrupt the city with horrible planning.
As I've said before, if I was in charge the Linc would be lined with companies like Canada Bread - or at least have land reserved for such investments whenever corporate Canada chooses to return to Hamilton on any regular basis.

As for the Augusta Athletic Club, you need to remember what city you're in. Building anything on a downtown parking lot is practically worth a civic holiday to be declared in this town. The parade of red tape is miles longer for such projects than greenfields and anyone brave enough to walk into city hall with plans for a street-fronting building on a parking lot deserves massive kudos for even working up the nerve.
