Something resonated strongly with me when reading the article.

As a recent empty nester who is planning retirement as early as six years from now, I was very excited at the prospect of the NHL coming to Hamilton. I had four deposits down for the Predators "long shot" and, being a long time Tiger-Cat season ticket holder, and watching the slow re-emergence of our downtown and emergence of our waterfront, I was actively looking to move downtown if the NHL came and the WH stadium was going to be built.

I really looked forward to an urban, walkable lifestyle that would have included seasons tickets to both Hamilton's CFL and NHL teams, walking and shoppping to the Farmers' Market and frequenting the various entertainment venues and restaurants that downtown Hamilton has to offer. (More than one might think.)

God, would I love to have gotten rid of one car. Imagine the cost savings alone!
