Fundamentals first, then focus on housing Re: “Let’s get on with creating more affordable housing,” commentary, Jan. 28.
Victoria, Saanich and Langford have been furiously building a mix of high density housing for the last decade. It hasn’t made a dent in solving the soaring cost of homes. Google it.Who did not see that coming?We have a broken regional transportation system. The new McKenzie interchange is already slowing down again. Check it out at rush hour.
For example, less than two years ago Canada was hit by effects of climate change that killed more than 600 people in B.C. and destroyed Lytton. If we are going to build a habitable Canada, our planning must be based on a wider view of what’s good for our citizens and the environment we share — not a myopic drive to maximize the number of little boxes we can pack into a treeless concrete desert.Beautiful Victoria a densified utopia?

In the meanwhile, you can ask yourself how developers, contractors, the elderly, families etc. actually go to work, get the shopping done, get the kids to extracurricular activities, and generally conduct their affairs.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to take these clowns seriously. I am vaccinated but I will continue to toboggan and drink beer whenever the mood takes me.
The writer indicates every pitfall of LNG with the usual lack of proof other than 40 years of hearing the same message over and over. Please include my arthritis and mention “Gwyn Morgan is the devil” next time for full effect. The last time I visited the B.C. Royal Museum, to see the Emily Carr exhibit, I saw these beautiful paintings on a “self-guided” tour.
Where are the docents, the experts, the people who are enthusiastic about the collection? The Royal B.C. Museum has many deficits, poor layout, lighting and ambience. It would have been nice to learn that either Harry or Meghan had sent us a little thank you note. They did not.Trains are essential to our transportation Re: “Rail corridor offers exciting possibilities,” commentary, Jan. 16.
