Dear Editor:
Re: DNV Mulls Affordable Housing, Feb. 5 front-page story.
I am very impressed with the forward thinking of Coun. Jim Hanson of the District of North Vancouver.
While we in the City of North Vancouver are stuck with (a mayor and council)who favour developers of highrise condos and block creative thinking, the district mulls over an affordable housing project, even though they are not responsible for providing housing.
I am also impressed with the district’s reunification study. It’s way past time we became “North Vancouver” and not two regions with double the costs for the salaries and expenses of two mayors and two councils and two city halls.

Editor’s note: It was also noted in the Feb. 5 story that the City of North Vancouver is building up its supply of below-market housing in exchange for extra density in new condo projects.
