It doesn't excite me in the least that Hamilton is doing all of this development in the East Mountain. I hate seeing all of these stucco supercentres being built outside the lines as downtown rots away.

Incentives, as Ryan has pointed out several times, is our only way to correct this attitude. I am hoping that the city slants the incentives for this project towards downtown and penalizes any effort to build it in East Mountain.

I don't know about most people, but for me it's alarming to drive down Rymal East and see farmland smacked up against the road.

We're not doing the right things here. Urban planning isn't just about capitalism.

Hamilton's one and only issue has always been image. How does it look when even our stadium can't stand to be here?

While kind of funny in context, I think Agent Smith said it best:

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. -- Agent Smith, The Matrix
