Cannot have anything in this city, so tired of the senseless vandalism. Go get a job and keep yourself busy doing something constructive.

why is Ms.Gauvin always dismissive about initiatives taking place in the community and of other organizations? There are other organization working with people in the encampments but from all the media rhetoric you would think Elevate is the only show in town that is doing anything. What is really going on here, what is the end game?

I am not a Liberal but how about one of you critics run. Think you could do a better job, go for it. Nothing like an armchair quarterback. Everyone thinks they can be a better leader until they are in the other shoes then reality hits.

A gathering celebrating diversity. You don’t like it, don’t go. End of!!

Very slippery slope. Are you going to give money to all the independent businesses? Are you going to do this for others in the future when you want to build something that is contentious in another core?

It looks like it is being fixed up. It is out of the elements and available, that is the important thing.

Well said. It is usually the unhappy people putting their comments on here. No, it does not represent the general public, only reflective of the disgruntled, who don’t seem happy with anything. Sad existence.

People who put thumbs down are absolutely deplorable. Let’s hope nothing happens to one of your loved ones. What is wrong with you?

There are people who need support and waitlist for support are long; however, there are also people who have a blatant disregard for property and rules. Despite support offered, they refuse to accept it. Why are we so adverse to holding people accountable for their behaviours? Why are we always blaming the landlords who are having to pay thousands of dollars in damages once they evict?

I am so sorry that this happened to you and your friends. We do not all share these racist and ignorant perspectives. I love seeing diversity in the city and have a deep respect for people who are trying to build a life for themselves. You are right we are all humans but some of us are more evolved than others.

Release names and take licenses away for good. Enough is enough!

I hope the folks who criticize DSSAB, and other housing providers, on a regular basis take heed of this article. Despite efforts to make buildings safer, evicting problematic tenants is not easy, even if they are a threat to others. Landlords have no rights, including social housing providers.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Really? For profit vs. NFP, cmon now. The constant complaining about housing projects for our vulnerable citizens is getting old.

Some non-profits have been working tirelessly to get housing projects up and going. Too bad the city is not working with them to find permanent solutions with a lesser price tag.

People who are working hard everyday deserve some amenities too.

You mean to say that white, straight, Christians are not trying to get everyone else to live their lives as they do. You mean a black lesbian can live her life as she wishes? Could I move to your planet?

Firstly the Alpha Court project is not transitional housing, it is permanent housing. Unfortunately this is misinformation that has been perpetuated over the last year. You make it sound as though Alpha Court is being intentionally covert, this is far from the truth. If the build was to house high income, white people, would you have an issue? None of us get to decide who moves into our neighborhood. Did you get to choose your neighbours? You hide behind terms such as NGO, but what is really going on? Whether it is public dollars or private dollars, again you do not get to choose your neighbours or choose where a building is placed. If it is zoned residential, then it is what it is. I have a building being erected up from where I live. I do not know who it is meant to house and frankly it is none of my business. The builders/owners have gone through the necessary steps to build in a residential area and did not need to consult the surrounding neighbours/businesses.

Since Elevate is the only show in town doing something for people, I guess you would have to extend your hours. I say this sarcastically. PACE and Grace Place also have warming centres. Your not an island Holly.

I can’t say that I am happy about this news. Many walkers and hikers have been chased out of the park as it has gotten too dangerous. I personally have been harassed by bicyclist stating to get off the trails (after walking there for 30 years) and this was during non-racing evenings. I try to be respectful and avoid the area when there are races. Mind you it is not as nice to walk there anymore. The wildlife is essentially non-existent and I was getting tired of seeing the damage caused to fauna and flora by the bicycles and construction. A real shame. I wonder what the future holds for centennial park. I am glad they need to stay away from the cascades, at this time anyway.
