Editor:
An open letter to Mayor Mike Hurley and councillors:
I am very disappointed with the rezoning of 6444 Willingdon and 4241 Maywood St.
This development encompasses virtually an entire city block.
I voted and campaigned for you and one of the reasons was the ongoing demovictions.
It seems quite possible that you are still governed/controlled by the Corrigan cronies who bought all these developments to the fore.
You will be throwing about 200 renters out of their apartments, with nowhere for them to go, at the same rent that they are now paying?
This is not the way to go – it’s just giving in to developers and not taking care of the working/middle class people in the Metrotown area.
By the way, I myself am a homeowner.
Mike Bird, Burnaby
