Many people with children have been
experiencing difficult times trying to obtain
decent accommodation. So many landlords
tell them it is an ‘adult oriented’ building.
Landlords are adamant in stating that some
buildings truly are not suitable for kids. Is
this fair?

This issue the Inquiring Reporter asks:

"Should landlords be
able to say ‘No’ to
children?”

Unfortunately, they do
have this right. You can’t
tell a man who can live in
his “castle.” It is too bad
there isn't enough ac-
commodation for families
right now.

Children should have
rights like anyone else. 1
think it is wrong for a
landlord to turn down a
good tenant because of a
child.

I don't think a landlord
should be able to turn
away a family because
they have children

1 don't think a landlord
should turn away
children. It 1s better for
the communnly and the

individuals if the
neighbourhood has a
good cross-section — of

people of all ages

It as not fauw that land
lords can turn away
famahes with children,
especially single mothers
There are some high rises
that might be unsuitable
for children, but
nevertheless, there = are
many buildings that could
take children and don't

Cold water was poured
last Thursday on suggestions
that the North Shore should
have a direct link-up with
the light rail transit system
being planned for Greater
Vancouver municipalities
south of the Inlet.

Two Greater Vancouver
Regional District transit
planners told members of
the three North Shore
councils that the planned
LRT system would benefit
North Shore mainly through
reduced transit costs.

But GVRD planner
Gerard Farry said an LRT
link across Burrard Inlet
would be expensive and
would benefit only limited
areas of the North Shore.

Population growth on the
North Shore, he said, does
not indicate the same need
for rapid transit as in Surrey,
Coquitlam and Richmond,
where the LRT lines are
planned to end.

He suggested the
would reduce overall
transit operating costs,
beginning in the mid 1990's,
and that North Shore
residents could eventually
benefit through lower transit
surcharges on their Hydro
bills. NN

GVRD_ design team
member Anton Kuipers said
North Shore transit can be
improved with park-and-nde
schemes and the special
lanes to put buses directly on
to the Lions Gate and
Second Narrows bridges
ahead of auto lineups.

He agreed with Farry that
the cost of any scheme
involving commuter trains
across the North Shore
would be prohibitively high.

Apart from represen-
tatives of the three councils
only about 15 members of
the public attended the
meeting in North Van City
hall.
