Dear Editor:
I do appreciate the North Shore News publishing the names of candidates for district council on pages 18 and 19 of the Nov. 7 issue.
I am a newcomer to North Vancouver and I have never seen a layout like this before. Publishing the occupations of the candidates tells me a lot about what they stand for.
Reading their statements and then associating those statements with their occupations tells me what to expect from them.
I did expect to see more Realtors running, as I feel that they have personal interests at stake.
It is true that North Vancouver has grown too big for their boots and traffic has to be dealt with very seriously. It would have been nice if other communities in Greater Vancouver were to follow suit, as maybe we could all live in an affordable society.
