Dear Editor,
Re: “Legal zoning doesn’t make it right,” Letters, March 8.
The intrusion of megahomes, probably “rooming houses,” in once quiet, established Richmond neighbourhoods is distressing.
This practice is not environmentally sound, in that it involves scrapping perfectly good homes, thereby wasting good lumber and other materials. Is it right that we should continue with deforestation to just throw wood into the dump?
I agree with John Edmondson, who writes in a letter to the editor that allowing huge structures on small residential lots is unfair to the neighbours, as it cuts out the natural light from their homes and gardens. Not to mention the increased traffic, huge machinery and construction noise even on once quiet Sundays.
