So all the tax dollars that that city residents are forced to hand over to the AGH, Hamilton Place, Copps, HECFI, Theatre Aquarius, Opera Hamilton, public libraries, etc, etc etc.

Traditional art venues != creative industries. Read the report.

This report was commissioned and manipulated to benefit a special interest

Did you read the report before deciding that?

I suspect that not many of you pay taxes in this city.

Handy way to dismiss people who disagree with you but hard to believe. Most of the commenters on RTH sound like educated professionals to me - you know, the kind of people you say we need more of downtown.

Of course, if you bothered to read the report you'd know there are lots of educated creative professionals in Hamilton who want the downtown to be successful. Many are already located downtown, have put there money where there mouth is (ooh does that make them "special interests") and really want their own businesses and the downtown as a whole to be successful.
