44% of young adults in Hamilton of adults live with their parents. While there are certainly worse housing issues that can happen (and are happening in our community), it's a useful benchmark for just how hard it has become to start a family nowadays. In 1991, 32% of Canadians under 30 lived with their parents. Now it's closer to half.

44% of young adults in Hamilton of adults live with their parents. While there are certainly worse housing issues that can happen (and are happening in our community), it's a useful benchmark for just how hard it has become to start a family nowadays. In 1991, 32% of Canadians under 30 lived with their parents. Now it's closer to half.
For young people who want to get out on their own in Hamilton, accomodations are either categorically unsuitable or unattainable. And often, the alternatives to staying at home aren't moving nearby, but moving across the country.
I will advocate for the City to get involved more forcefully in providing non-market housing - especially in vacant and underused parts of Hamilton. I will always stand by protecting our Greenbelt and the character of our existing communities, especially as long as we are not making use of the land we already have available to us.

Working in the Downtown Core, I know the real sense of concern among businesses and residents about crime and drug use. But I also know that when it comes to a problem like this, treatment and social services are necessary but insufficient - you have to follow the money back to the source that enables social disorder. That means rooting out organized crime, not just helping rehabilitate its victims. Otherwise we will never really get a handle on the incentive structures that perpetuate addiction.
On Council, I will push for Hamilton Police Service's enormous funding to include a carveout to establish and operate a dedicated Organized Crime unit within Investigative Services, with the goal to bring down costs in the long run by striking at the heart of corruption and its vice-like grip on the most vulnerable in this City.
But seriously, fix the potholes

Hamilton's roads are in crisis. I will press the City to update its public road conditions index on at least an annual basis and will prioritize funding of major rehabilitation and reconstruction projects over any ancillary measures until 100% of arterial roads and at least 90% of other roads are rated at an OCI of 70 or more (i.e., needi
Hamilton's roads are in crisis. I will press the City to update its public road conditions index on at least an annual basis and will prioritize funding of major rehabilitation and reconstruction projects over any ancillary measures until 100% of arterial roads and at least 90% of other roads are rated at an OCI of 70 or more (i.e., needing maintenance and not rehabilitation).
Traffic calming includes making roads usable for drivers without them swearing after almost losing an axle. We need roads to be usable in the first place before we debate how to regulate them.
