Re: “Tight race leaves Vision in a final scramble,” Nov. 7.
Why is it that in relation to the NPA, Rob Macdonald is mostly mentioned negatively but all the deals, mostly hidden, that Vision has done with developers is OK? We should be far more concerned about Vision’s biggest donors.
Being the greenest, ending homelessness and housing affordability can only happen when we are prosperous. To be prosperous, we have to have a council willing to think outside the box, look at ideas as “how can we make this work” and encourage all industry. The green agenda is so shallow they have to constantly talk about it while housing affordability plans are unlikely to make a difference but will forever change our city.
On the fiscal responsible front, how wasteful and unnecessary are the various lawsuits against corporations and individuals and defending against community groups and the aquarium? I choose a city hall that is inclusive to make Vancouver vibrant and prosperous rather than the dour and sanctimonious, negative place it is now.
