Dear Editor:
Thank you for your article Evictions Feared at Emery Village, April 10. Although I am disgusted by it, I am happy to be informed.
Unfortunately, happy to be informed is the only positive emotion that came out of reading that article.
I am all for making a buck, investing, making money and the like, but the real-estate market is completely out of hand. Not only has the “family home” become extinct as it is all about “Hey, honey. The Realtor called.
We can make a fortune if we sell now,” but developers like Mosaic (lack) a conscience while they bulldoze over dislodged families like Emery Village. Develop on unused land, develop on clear land, but Mosaic, kicking out single moms, dads and children for profit is monstrous. This conundrum coupled with the massive marketing of Realtors on the North Shore and the pure greed that emanates from our city leaves an unpalatable taste in my mouth.
