In regards to the article B次元官网网址淢ayor committed to density to LangfordB次元官网网址檚 core.B次元官网网址� First off, no one is saying we should not have development in Langford.

What most take exception to is lopping off tops of mountains, denuding complete areas of all trees and habitat for wildlife, negating many of the reasons folks wanted to move here, and then just brushing off any and all opposing opinions. The exact reason why I moved here was to be close to nature, but not too far from downtown Victoria.

I think the mayor has core density and urban sprawl confused. Belmont Market, Peatt Rd and Goldstream areas are in the core, Bare Mountain (yes that is how most spell it now) is not, as is the Latoria/Happy Valley corridor, to name just two.

So far as affordable homes, is the average home price of close to a million dollars affordable? So keep the spin real Mr. Mayor. No one will deny LangfordB次元官网网址檚 only mayor did a lot of good for the city, but it seems hubris and arrogance have taken their toll on our mayor and council. When statements like B次元官网网址淢y suggestion is, donB次元官网网址檛 come buy a home here and then bitch about it a few years laterB次元官网网址� show their true colours, never mind the pettiness shown in other comments.

I was not as shocked as I should have been when I read this, it is indicative of the attitude of mayor and council over the past few years. When the mayor states the majority of folks he talks to agree with him, he forgets his B次元官网网址渃ircle of friendsB次元官网网址� are primarily developers, planners and other politicos. God forbid he actually listens to his B次元官网网址渦nwashed constituents,B次元官网网址� you know, the ones who B次元官网网址渂itchB次元官网网址� and live in $2 million homes. Yeah, right.
