Dear Editor:
Why does the City of North Vancouver not allow casinos to be built? They are constantly whining about money woes for their pet projects.
They are also making decisions about density that go way beyond the OCP to accommodate the shortfalls. Seems like a "no brainer" to me.
A casino in the empty lots in the auto mall would make perfect sense. The idea of putting hundreds of residences in that location is very simplistic and shows this council has no real vision for our city.I can just hear all the people who move there, crying about the noise and lights as soon as the shipyard starts full production. This location was never meant for homes. The traffic in that area is already at its limit.
We are soon going to be hit with a huge bill for the sewage treatment and with the Harper government in charge in Ottawa, we will be footing that bill ourselves.
The city would receive 10 per cent of the revenue from a casino.Maybe the citizens will wake up before the next municipal election and vote for new blood.
