Dear Editor,

Re: “1,300 units in Capstan supported by majority of Richmond council,” Online, Dec.

Coun. Alexa Loo represents all that is wrong with the City of Richmond.

Her attitude to the need for rentals for Richmond citizens — for the average-income and low-income earner — is so patronising, saying one week it’s rentals and the next week community centres. 

How dare citizens demand places to live or amenities? They should just be grateful for the beautiful high-rises the wonderful developers build, even if they’re half empty!
