Where’s affordable?

There are so many flaws in this city and the lack of affordable homes for sale is a large one.

A recent Spec real estate section advertised “gorgeous,” “fantastic,” “stunning ” — where is affordable? And doesn’t need another $40,000 in renos.

Citizens fought for our valuable farmland much to the dismay of developers/builders. The nonsense of saying we need more building to accommodate an influx of people to Hamilton is mind boggling — fix what exists. CHCH showed areas where new home building was underway and not one would be financially feasible for the average family. It’s disheartening and needs to be addressed so citizens can have a family home with money left to buy groceries, clothing and to support the local economy.
