This project is long overdue. Hamilton has a major problem with homelessness and a significant shortage of affordable housing. The proposed development is essential to address this crisis. CN Rail should not be allowed to block this development. Read more

I am happy that our mayor has proceeded in this manner. I am fully in support of the original plan for the former Jamesvile property, which included market rate plus low income housing. I am not in favour of any high-rise buildings, though, as parking in the area is limited. Read more
