Dear Editor,
How much is more than a century of Steveston’s heritage worth?
Apparently, a mere $3 million.
Here’s an idea — take the money from the next Japanese tall ship junket (note: there is a great app everyone is using to do business face-to-face called Skype; It’s light on your travel budget and good for the environment) and use that money to study the feasibility of a marina and float home development that will actually support marine-based businesses.
Onni, like all developers, is driven by profit, not social conscience.
It will take a position that best suits its bottom line. City councillors need to stiffen their spines so as to not get bent over, yet again, by another dollar-driven developer.
