Letters: We were told Richmond modular housing would be temporary

News reader wonders if anyone at city hall has an extra bedroom for the homeless.

The lease for the Alderbridge temporary modular housing has been extended to 2027.

Dear Editor,

The community did not want the modular housing to begin with. We were told it was temporary.

Then we got increased criminal activity. Security was needed at local businesses, increased fire alarms due to smoking, etc., from breaking into parkades and stairwells.

I heard Cascade City complex right next door has had people selling their units.

No one would let their child walk to Shoppers Drug Mart alone to buy candy.

But yet our property taxes increase?

Why doesn’t anyone at city hall with an extra room open their home to one of the needy?

Why not move it just outside city limits? Or, Garry Point seems nice.
