Changes to West Van drive residents away

Dear Editor:

What a breath of fresh air from Susan Thomas of North Vancouver. It’s a shame her letter (Dark Days in West Van, a District that has Lost its Soul, March 14 Mailbox) comes from a person in North Vancouver, only because so many West Vancouver residents agree with you but don’t speak up. Mayor Michael Smith’s idea of government is to disappear and don’t get in the way. If they want to build bigger houses let them. If they want to build houses that take up the whole lot let them.

In my work I see many people in West Vancouver homes and I see many are moving away. The reason stated in many cases is “It’s not what I want to move to, it is more what I want to move away from.”

Why can’t Coun. Nora Gambioli run for mayor – at least she seems to care.
