1) The cause of saving a loved building from demolition.
2) The importance of having the BOE downtown.
3) The importance of having Mac downtown (in its proposed configuration).4) The revelation of the specifics of the site-selection process.
5) The legacy resentment at the Board at being 'forced' to locate downtown in the first place, almost a half-century ago.
6) Feelings of disenchantment/impotency by some Hamiltonians towards this unfolding situation, as fuelled by other recent situations, such as the Pan Am Games Stadium Site Selection fiasco.
7) Frustration at the impending loss of yet another 'landmark' downtown building; loss of legacy.
8) Anger on the parts of pro-downtowners at a further example of 're-location to the suburbs'.
9) A general fedupedness about the dearth of genuine leadership in the city.
10) The realities of shifting demographics in the Lower City. (And some people being in denial over them.)
So.
Given that Hamilton-at-large has a pretty tough time grasping the intricacies and nuances of something as simple as garbage collection, is it any wonder that this discussion isn't any more evolved than the one about our radial separation bylaw?
