It becomes an echo chamber - well it is now, actually, since most of the people who agree with some but not all of the policies advocated here on this site have moved on due to the lack of inclusion and openness. You can also see it in the few authors who recite the same articles about "why LRT is good", "our one-way streets are bad", "why we need to do XYZ to our streets to 'fix' them", and so on.

Go back and read the "about" section of this webpage. It says this:

"Raise the Hammer is a group of Hamilton, Ontario citizens who believe in our city's potential and are willing to get involved in making the city a more vibrant, livable, and attractive place to live and work.

We are non-partisan and our members come from diverse political backgrounds. Our common interest is revitalizing our city, a goal that benefits everyone.

About the Site

Raise the Hammer is dedicated to providing a variety of views and approaches to the goal of making Hamilton a great city. Towards that end, we encourage readers to contribute feedback, letters to the editor, and article submissions. Please feel free to contact us with your comments and ideas."

We already know the site doesn't take kindly to dissenting opinion - hence the removed and downvoted comments. Also, take a look at the principles page. They don't fit with the "about" page at all. The vision of this site has changed. If it continues to be a bunch of people feigning interest in a discussion, but only as long as it is THEIR discussion, we end up with a lot of whiny people wondering why their small voice is not heard nor followed in our city's leadership.
