isolationist NIMBYs

Dear Editor:

1 believe that the vast majority of the elitist
residents of West: Vancouver somehow either
did not have a childhood or have reached the
stage of conveniently forgetting that they were
once children and young people themselves
(no matter what their ages are now). As far as
being NIMBYs is concerned, these people take
the cake.

J cannot contain my icelings any Jonger and
have to have my say. It seems that every single
idea that is floated in and around West
Vancouver these days for any change or
improvement is met ‘with hostile, aggressive
resistance even betore the merits are discussed.

I say: Upgrade the fercy terminal in
Horseshoe Bay for the benefit of the whale
Vancouver and North Shore area, After all, the
ferries were there long before most of you
made your money that allowed you to buy
there.

Who cares what you think anyway — I pay
my tax dollars also — and you don't care what
we think.

Allow the bontires back onto the beaches
and close your windows so that vou will not
get the small ammount of smoke that might
come vour way,

The arrogance of those who would say that
West Vancouver children should rather play on
fields in North Vancouver tells me that chil-
dren and people with children are not welcome
in West Van — it seems dogs are more accept
able,

Close the Lions Gate Bridge for one month
so that the upgrade can be done once and for
all --- surely a hetle inconvenience will not hurt,
perhaps it will teach a lesson.

Allow the school extension proposed to
include 2 new theatre complex — why nov

Erect a wall around all those parts of West
Vancouver that are municipal areas and put up
a signs: Please do not feed these isolationist
residents on your way past, they do not want to
be awakened or disturbed.
