Richmond - The Editor, Re: "Affordable housing... may be axed," News, June 20.How many more times are people who need affordable housing going to be passed over again? Time after time we see this happening where developers get their way with this council. We need inclusiveness in all developments.How many of these apartments buildings near the oval have been given free membership as an incentive, at taxpayers expense as we shore up this facility? The city's history of giving developers what they want, which has been separating the rich from the general population, is pure and simple "segregation!" What is interesting to read is how some councillors are suddenly thinking differently; is this just an indication that elections are this fall?D. M. NorthRichmond
