Please save BC manufactured home parks from current and future unfair redevelopment. ALL PAY YEARLY TAXES. Have no doubt THIS IS AUSTERITY.
Please save Surrey manufactured home parks from current and future unfair redevelopment. Redevelopment of Surrey and area parks to make way for "Innovation Blvd" along the King George corridor will displace low income families, disabled and retired people who are not in a financial or life situation to rebuild or simply move on. Some of the residents have lived in their homes in excess of 20 years

Rent eating up much of Vancouverites’ incomes | Metro News In Coquitlam, Richmond, Burnaby and Vancouver, about 1 in 4 people spend more than 50 per cent of their income on rent.
Unfortunately, austerity is spreading across north America like a disease...corporations and developers are targeting the most vulnerable since they often do not have the resources to fight back. Banks and governments are loving it because they earn more money from the hard sweat of the common man as we fall deeper and deeper into debt. Multi-generational mortgages on $1.5 million shoe-boxes?
A lot of ridiculously priced new developments are sitting empty, owned by non-citizens who live off shore and administered by development groups with numbered companies. Meanwhile our veterans, aged and handicapped live on the street?!
How is this the Canada our forefathers gave their lives for? It disgusts anyone with a beating heart.
These are not ex-cons, hookers and drug pushers...these are mostly grandmothers, single parents, young families, veterans and handicapped people! These are all our grandparents, mothers, children and siblings! THIS IS THE CANADIAN WAY OF LIFE! We are only as good as our least fortunate in this society... People need to stand up and fight. It can make a difference but we need to make our voices heard! No form of government wants rallying outside chambers with press attention while they pass unconscionable property laws!
