    A morning walk in Hamilton Ontario located 68 kilometers away from Toronto. The city has been attracting more Torontonians in the last few years due to the high housing prices in the city of Toronto. Unfortunately, the city struggles with issues such as homelessness and drug usage, which is easily noticeable in the downtown area.

      @@user-og2wt3le4j Yes! In the 1980's, I only saw TWO homeless people downtown- that was for the entire decade! But we had a strong private *and* public sector, not just for Hamilton, but for all of Canada. The unions and regular workers had proper coverage back then.

    I live downtown, I never feel unsafe. Yes there are some unhoused with addiction issues. But many have undiagnosed and untreated mental illness. What I usually find is a warm and caring people. Who take the time to chat and say hi. I find it curious why the videographer walked straight after James st north. Instead of turning down into the super crawl that was going on. one of Ontario's premier art festivals.

    It's kind of gone back to looking dumpy again.. But I still think Hamilton was worse in the 1990's.. YIKES!
    James Street is an interesting case, because now the North end of James- right down to Burlington Street,
    is the decent and cleaned-up section, whereas James South is the dirty/sketchy area.. For SO long it was
    the opposite! James North was the place to avoid, and James South was the civilized area (around Durand)..
    I Really Like what's been done with James North- keeping and maintaining small businesses and older
    neighbourhoods.

The only person I ever heard refer to it like that was in Toronto from someone who had friends in Hamilton. I grew up off of Barton St. right by where the old Fairfield school used to be. Gone now. Sad.

    It was pretty dumpy back in the 1990s. Things gradually got nicer up until 2019, and the downtown was becoming safer and more developed. But, the Covid situation erased all of that. The homelessness isn't apparent in this video, but in other parts of Hamilton, its worse than ever. Drug use and dealing goes rampant and unpunished in Hamilton. Public defecation is now a brand new concern. Watch out for discarded needles!

Hamilton folks complain it was the Leafs that kept them out, but no one wanted to own a team in Hamilton.
