It took us decades to build the RHVP and the world didn't end. Why not just build this damn LRT, regardless of whether or not it's the "right" investment.

Perhaps some of you LRT advocates should fill councilors on the fact that there are many cities with far higher debt than we have and yet these cities are doing quite well...

New York

Assets... $74.8B
Liabilities... $183.3B
Net assets per NYC resident... - $12,918

Toronto

Nets Assets per Toronto resident... $5358

Hamilton

Assets... $5.1B
Liabilities... $998M
Net assets per Hamilton resident... $7799

Ask your councilors how Toronto and NYC can function quite well, even though they have borrowed much more than Hamilton has.
