Agree but would add that the massive multi billion dollar 10 year build out of GO Transit will be a game changer. Hamilton has managed to buck high population and real estate rates in the GTA but that's about to change.

With all day frequent service on the Lakeshore West line, real estate agents in Hamilton are already seeing unprecedented spikes in prices as people see the city as an affordable and urban alternative.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hamilton's population growth rate 2016-2021 doubling/tripling from the 3.7% it registered 2011-2016.
