People who do not understand the benefits after being shown logical proof--not opinion--will naturally thread themselves out of the City and more progressively thinking individuals will replace them through the laws of natural order.

On the other hand, there are those who read RTH articles and essays and get a little tickled about the idea. They just need to see it in action, or imagine it (in my case).

It would be great to show Hamilton in this way to those who are not completely convinced.

It would be nice if a video could be rendered using the current Downtown architecture as a backdrop, showing maybe LRT slowing down, picking up some passengers and then traveling off. Behind the tram would be cobblestone roads with people walking everywhere; people playing in Gore park. In the distance you would see patios full of people and an energy that Hamilton so desperately requires.

I wonder how many people would change their perspective if they could see it in action. They might even become proud of the idea.
