The world does not, in fact, revolve around you
As a long term resident of the West End, and a regular at the fabulous YMCA facility on Burrard, I feel obliged to expose something ugly that I recently witnessed. While waiting in a line up at the gym, a fellow patron was accused of being disruptive on account of a condition with which he was born. Nobody seemed to care, some people may have noticed, and certainly nobody seemed put off.
Except for YOU.
You seemed to think it was your place to whine and complain to the fantastic Y staff that this individual was somehow encroaching on the private bliss to which you seemed to think you are entitled. Do you understand the difference between a right and a privilege? To use the space at the Y is not your right. In fact by choosing to use that facility, you choose to share a space with all kinds of people. This includes the fellow that you found so disruptive to your experience.
For you to harass the staff with your nonsensical issue made you look like a fool. By asking if the Y had a “policy” against such individuals, you further discredited yourself. The policy is INCLUSION. If that is beyond your scope of socialization, perhaps you ought to do your leisure someplace else – like your home – by yourself

Hey douche bag, quit whining. At least you have a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in.
Pretend you're a refugee for a bit and then perhaps your lame "first world problems" won't be such a big fucking deal to you.

Affordable housing is needed, not more condos

Unfortunately they will build towers there, but they will be million-dollar condos to house more rich foreigners and not the locals.
