N. Shore hoods

Dear Editor:

Recently the North Shore News
had three different articles which ini-
tially did not appear to have much in
common, but on closer inspection
they may be giving a similar and
somewhat scary scene.

The first was a touching article by
Trevor Lautens tided West Van's
Dirty Little Secret, the second is the
issie of amalgamation between the
two North Vancouvers, and the third

was a letter to the editor, North
Vancouver District not home sweet
home by Debbie Tardiff (Dec. 15).
What is the common thread? The
belief I have that West Van's Dirty
Little Secret is in reality the North
Shore’s dirty little secret. The secret
being that we can no longer brag
about being the “middle and up”
class to the extent that we have been.
The truth is that many of us are
hanging on to very delicate and

rental housing

straining threads in order to remain
in a community that we fove. The
causes could be age, unemployment,
illness or marriage breakdown, but
whatever the reason the economic
base on the North Shore “ain’t what
it used to be.”

While there may be many land
rich but cash poor residents, there are
also a large number of renters, strug-
gling to pay the ever increasing rents,
particularly in the District o! North

Vancouver.

The solution to financial planning
in the district is to tear down whatev-
er rental accommodation exists.

I live in a rental complex, one that
has made a great effort in being a
positive part of the community.

To our dismay the wrecking, ball
could be heading our way.

What has this to do with the amal-
gamation of the two North
Vancouvers? Looking through the

rental section of the paper, the City of
North Vancouver seems to be the
only remotely affordable area left to
live on the North Shore.

1 truly hope for all the good,
involved people who care about and
wish to remain on the North Shore
that amalgamation does not take
place. I believe it is only because of
good, responsible government in the
City of North Vancouver that afford-
able housing still exists.

For all of our sakes, let’s keep it
that way.
