While police investigate reports of conflicts between campers and neighbours, the property's manager says the trespassers have gone so far as to change the locks on the entrance gate. Find out more.
The properties are owned by B.C. numbered companies with a sole director, Edison Washington, who lists a West Vancouver residential address.that Edison Washington is also known as Qiang Wang and that with his wife had purchased $152 million worth of Vancouver property since 2011, including the Belmont Avenue properties and parcels on Cambie Street that have since been redeveloped.
Akbari called the police and was told then that there was little that could be done unless the camper was physically there all the time, which isn’t the case. This was later removed and the city told Postmedia that the lots are zoned RS-1, which permits one- and two-family dwellings through a development permit process, and that there are no policies that would allow a strata-titled condo or townhome projects, or a market rental development.
He doesn’t think the situation with the campers is impacting the marketing of the property because “it’s bare land covered in forest.” “But this is vacant land. It’s private and safe. No one is going to bother you. It’s safer than on Hastings Street. It’s sad …” he said. “If I was a neighbour, living across the street or walking my dog nearby, it would be very unsettling. And it’s all over the city. It’s not just on Belmont.”Article content
