Re FOC
Just one more note: Appendix A survey question 5. To what extent do you feel each of the following entertainment venues contributes to the vibrancy and quality of life in downtown Hamilton?
Just under half the respondents felt that FOC was 'extremely important': the highest among the facilities surveyed.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. There's this irrational part of me that still believes Hamilton might land an NHL team. Just this tiny little irritating part of my brain. To what extent does that thought impact the response to that question?
I really feel this issue must be framed in economic or financial terms rather than an emotional one.
e.g. The City of Hamilton spends $xxx on sports and entertainment facilities per year. This amounts to $xxx per taxpayer per year. Over the past 5 years, these facilities have seen a net loss/gain of $xxx per resident. To what extent to you feel this is a good investment of taxpayer monies?
