How many current and former Councillors are landlords? How many own(ed) taxi medallions? How often did they declare a conflict of interest and recuse themselves from votes?
That fishy smell is all around City Hall, including council chambers.
The former Ward 2 Councillor gloated about the view of downtown #HamOnt from a developer's living room on the mountain brow, but sure, it's staff who operate in a "grey area".
Hamilton city staff and vendors operate in grey area

A condo complex in Welland partially collapsed over the weekend, investigators are still trying to figure out how it happened. No one was in the building at the time but neighbours told me the collapse could be heard blocks away @morninglive@CHCHNews
A downside of being a long-serving employee is that when 12 bankers boxes full of some retired dude's *printed emails* are discovered in a closet at an old job-site, you end up being the guy who "reviews" them.
@jdavey_2 Yeah, like the 2009-10 Toyotas where the NHTSA eventually concluded most of those cases looked like “pedal misapplication”. Could be a manufacturing defect or maybe Tesla owners just suck at driving their overpowered cars.
“[R]esearch indicates there's more than 1,000 entire homes listed on short-term rental sites like Airbnb in #HamOnt— more than the estimated 860 vacant units currently available on the long-term market.”
Life is good when you’ve got an extra home or two!
Another exciting #HamOnt economic development story! Tenants pushed out by black mould & poor property management see their former homes relisted as $2,400/mo AirBnBs.
But really, the landlord is a great guy!

“After [the landlord] Colalillo was interviewed for this story, most of the listings appeared to have been removed from the website.”
The telltale signs of a “good guy”acting with true integrity!
