In an effort to `make some noise` I am preparing to call councillors/write letters in advance of the September 18th meeting. I am relatively new to investing in Hamilton but have been reading old city reports. I`m having trouble finding anything recent and I do want to do some research before I start shooting off my mouth. In my opinion this can have a HUGE impact for all Hamilton investors and am surprised to see nothing on this forum even mentioning the meeting.
Any advice from those involved with this Hamilton issue back in 2008 (I believe?) or those involved with this issue in Waterloo, London, Guelph ...? It is clear that the rental market in Hamilton have issues, but what is the best model to ensure safe housing that doesn`t penalize good landlords and tenants? I can`t see a blanket cash-grab solving the problems...
Thanks in advance.
