My support of LRT stems from 3 places:
1) Hamilton's competitive advantage is it's unrealized downtown potential - something no other city in the GTHA has. LRT will help attract students, knowledge workers, and unique retail to move in along the corridor.
2) More than a third of our carbon emissions come from transportation. (https://dr6j45jk9xcmk.cloudfront.net/documents/3618/climate-change-report-2014.pdf) The single most effective way to meet our climate change goals is to encourage citizens to take transit. This won't happen overnight, but something as attractive as LRT can shift a lot of people's choices. Transit has to be something people *want* to take, not something that only serves those that *have* to take it.
3) It's a billion friggen dollars. Let's not be stupid here.
