Thanks for the fall equivalent. By your logic, your neighbours have the right to pick out the colour of your bedroom. They have a stake in every piece of property after all.

We're talking about a matter of degree. Of course there is a public stake, but this developer hasn't broken any zoning bylaws. These are not Heritage Buildings, and as far as I can tell, prior to his plan to redevelop these properties no one gave a toss about their continued deterioration and neglect. If these buildings were of such cultural and historical significance they would never have fallen into such disrepair.

He wants to put money in downtown Hamilton, which is more than most have been willing to do for many years. I would much prefer money being put to work than left on the sidelines for the sake of what today is an eyesore.
