VIRTUAL RETAIL-ITY

Re: “,” Sept. 21, 2017.

More and more now I deal with the constant logjam that is 鶹ýӳtraffic and idiots in the parking lot get to a store. But then I can’t find what I came for, have a hard time finding help to get what I was looking for, and then they don’t have it. Waste of time. But, on the other hand, buying online you have to constantly be on guard for fake merchandise and read all the fine print before purchasing, and it’s a real crap shoot to get a quality item. The pictures always seem to look better than the reality...fed up with it all! I now hate shopping! –Nicole Ravencrow

THE MAIN EVENT

Re: “,” Sept. 21, 2017.

Most people who actually live in Mount Pleasant don’t think this is a good idea. Even the local BIAs are clearly more concerned than optimistic. (Not that City Hall or developers care.) –Rebecca Buck


That’s what I always think when I drive around Vancouver: “If only there were more condos.” It’s like 鶹ýӳis this machine: you feed it interesting neighbourhoods with old trees and unique architecture, and it spits out shoebox shaped monster homes and condos that all look vaguely similar. Oh, plus a couple of token trees planted. –Don Mäncha


Yeah, there’s a housing crisis right now. READ: Not enough houses for the people. Yet, nonsensically people say no to more houses? Makes sense. And what does the neighborhood have to do to “support a behemoth of a building” other than parking spots? Not to mention how the local businesses will suffer. Oh wait. :| –Tyler Mazzucco

DOUBLE DOUBLE

Oh, the humanity!! How will he survive a 45-day suspension and $,000 fine?

John Horgan, David Eby: WHERE ARE YOU?–Victoria Joss


$5,000...lol. Not much of a deterrent when the fine amounts to a single-digit percentage of their commission. –Jeff Hocquard

CHERRY ON TOP

So...taxpayers will be plundered to fund the NDP, Green and Liberal parties. Big money and free labor will still find its way to their campaigns, so this is a nice juicy bonus. And somehow this is supposed to be a good thing. –The Dude
