Dear Editor,
A Trojan Horse stuffed full of dollars has taken over city hall.
Who let it in?
It takes a lot of dollars to meet city hall salary demands, with six-figure salaries and lavish expense accounts for the high and mighty.
Mega/monster homes and the Onni white elephant (Imperial Landing) are the works of city hall.
It is all about permits and money. Both are needed in order to proceed with development. City councillors have the right to refuse building permits, but choose not to do so for fear of losing their Trojan Horse.
The city needs all the money it can get, by whatever means necessary, in order to enjoy life.
Bylaw reform is the last thing to consider when developers and investors are happy with the way it is. But public opinion is gaining momentum and must be expressed in the strongest way possible.
Quality of life in Richmond should take priority over quantity of life.
Alan Johnson
