Council ignores James Bay concerns about trees, density, affordable housing
Rhiannon Hamdi commented on Mariann Burka's comment in Commentary
Thank you for the insightful and accurate depiction of the current state of affairs in James Bay. This council has overseen the wholesale destruction of too many of our beloved old buildings and greenscapes. "Densification" is another word for paving paradise and they fool nobody with their green washing verbal diarrhea. There is no reason to remove the cherry trees or build a 6 story structure that will displace and disrupt the lives of some of our most vulnerable citizens. Everywhere I look, yet another landmark falls prey to "unbuilding" in favour of a new, brutalist structure designed to cram as many wealthy new residents from Calgary or Vancouver as they can. Has any thought been given to the fact that they are destroying the very essence of what made Victoria alluring in the first place? Do they truly believe that our resources on Vancouver Island can endlessly support this rate of development? James Bay should become self governing before it is completely destroyed. -
