Bringing in more people and jobs really won't have a large effect on the welfare needs of the city. Look at Vancouver Toronto and Montreal. They have an even larger poverty problem than Hamilton does. Its not really that there are no opportunities that makes the welfare rolls swell in cities, its the exact opposite. Cities have better services so attract welfare recipients. We should push for things that will attract jobs but lets not kid ourselves. Poverty isn't going to go away as a result.
