Opinion

Dear Editor, From what I see every day, I believe that Richmond is slowly becoming more and more polluted by the dust from construction. From building town houses, to apartments, to plazas, there is no end to it.

Dear Editor, After attending Tuesday evening’s planning committee meeting at Richmond City Hall. I find myself extremely disappointed by our elected decision-makers.

Dear Editor: Re: “Votes speak volumes,” July 16, News . Right on! Your editorial is a great reminder to all. We must learn to ignore the proliferation of good press politicians- — elicit, contrived or not — and focus on how they vote.

Dear Editor, I have little patience with the simple-minded proposition that those who object to the proliferation of mega-houses in our community are motivated by some kind of jealousy of wealth.

Dear Editor, RE: “More rental housing needed: McNulty,” Letters , July 9 It seems that Coun. Bill McNulty has just woken up from a long sleep and recognized that Richmond has an affordable housing problem.

Dear Editor, How many years will it take before residents can expect city council to spend our hard earned tax dollars in a feasible way? In the last few weeks, the city has announced plans to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on re-doing parks

Dear Editor, How much more fortunate can we Richmond taxpayers be? We get to fund a $250,000 “art” installation at Minoru Park, one section of which could be hazardous to low-flying airplanes.

Dear Editor, Re: Multipole multi-nuts, Letters , July 16. I absolutely agree with Patricia Moe. Apart from being a ridiculous-looking thing, who walks around looking up six storeys? The price it is costing tax payers is wicked.

Dear Editor, Further to Mr. McNulty’s excellent letter: it behooves all of us to remember, “The measure of a society’s greatness is in how it treats her weakest (poorest) members.

Dear Editor, Who authorized the spending for the Minoru Multipole? Our Mayor? This decision is literally insane, unbelievable and beyond accountability.
