City decisions inconsistent

Dear Editor: I find it ironic that this newspaper runs a story about diminishing rental property supply in Metrotown area using these poor people to make a case. After all, it was this city's council who issued permits for these new developments.

It seems inconsistent that all these highrises were approved without proper infrastructure and then the city would back its story up by saying that housing and schools is the responsibility of the provincial government. If so, why approve in the first place? Cui bono?
