As a long-time North End Hamilton resident I care deeply about the Jamesville housing development. It has been extremely frustrating to see this land sit vacant for so many years. At a time when we need more housing in our city and in our neighbourhood, it is completely inappropriate.

Originally, the city entered into a real estate transaction with a third party to sell its land and catalyze the area as part of urban renewal.

The area should have greater green space, less surface parking and a development in-keeping with the scale and character of the neighbourhood.
The proposal submission exceeds the building height limit of six storeys outlined in the Setting Sail Secondary Plan.

While I have not generally been in favor of the use of MZOs, in this case, I believe one should be seriously considered. We are strong supporters of Indwell and its work to provide affordable housing, and I volunteer with Hamilton Habitat.

My family and I have lived in the neighborhood for 7 years. We, along with every neighbour and community resident we speak with, are eager for this development to safely commence and be completed in a timely manner. We're eager for both market and subsidized housing, both of which are much needed.

Simply put, the use and application of your agency as a means to resolve the dispute is an inappropriate use of your agency. There is a process in place, albeit not transpiring at a speed that our click, agree and delivered to the front door culture has come to expect.

Let's get shovels in the ground. This property has been vacant way to long. People are desperate for Housing. The situation with housing needs to be addressed. Thank you
This council quietly changed the development height and amount of units without consulting area residents. They also erected a tiny shelter site on the other side of the tracks without consulting area residents.

We desperately need to move forward with housing in Hamilton, and the Jamesville location is key to providing a variety of housing units. Anyone creating roadblocks to housing should be held to account, including CN Rail.

In our current cultural moment where we have a housing crisis, it is unacceptable that this large parcel of land in the core of Hamilton has been sitting empty, denying many the basic right of dignified housing.

Please fast-track the new building at the Jamesville site in Hamilton. It's embarrassing that a shipping company somehow has the ability to block an affordable housing project in the middle of a housing crisis, especially in one of the most poverty-stricken regions of the country.
We have lived in Hamilton beautiful north end since 2018. Since 2019 this has been an eyesore. The fact it’s taken over 6 years to “negotiate” is horrific. We are in a housing crisis. An economical crisis. A tariff war and previously weathered a pandemic.
People need housing.

Please, utilize this property.
Hamilton like so many cities in Ontario is in desperate need of diverse housing options. This property has become an eyesore and a true blight on the community. The solution is to bring this forward, and get things going!

Due to the housing crisis it is imperative that we develop that area that is now sitting vacant. Indwell would be an incredible partner for this project.
