This letter writer believes B.C. municipalities should include renters and small businesses in land planning, not just single-family homeowners and large-scale developers.
Mayor Mike Hurley appears to share the sentiments of many individuals from the baby boomer generation who have invested in single-family homes in Burnaby.
There seems to be a conflict between these two desires, and it would be beneficial if our mayor clarified whom he is truly advocating for in this matter. I share the viewpoint expressed by David Eby, that municipalities in British Columbia should incorporate the needs of non-single-family homeowners, and include renters and small business owners, into their land planning processes instead of restricting access to livability in Burnaby for a small minority.
