Harbinger Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I saw a story about this on CBC news yesterday. There was one guy who hit the nail on the head. He said "This has to be the only city in the world where people actually protest an improvement!" Personally, I think the cops should break this up. These people have no right to picket a restaurant just because they don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpt Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Give them all a one way ticket back to Alberta. I'm tired of people complaining, it's not like he has shark fin soup on the menu, the guy is a legit entrepreneur doing an honest days work and even employing a now ex homeless guy.

Electro Rock Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 You should go there and support him then. You have that freedom if you want. You can just go there and either counter protest or you can go spend some money in his restaurant. Rather than simply complaining you can actually do something.

Jai604 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ridiculous. It's commercial property being redeveloped, and the guy is even hiring locals who were homeless previously. Complaining for the sake of complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yes, the city of Vancouver, with its budget already stretched to the max should spend millions they dont have on old buildings that need to be torn down. That theatre should have gotten millions of city dollars to purchase, more to refurbish and even more every day to upkeep so you could wax nostalgic about "the good ole days". They would have to raise taxes to afford it but its a small price to pay to keep progress at bay .Keep it the way it was? For what? A sinkhole to throw our tax dollars into. A number of buildings in this city have the cultural or historical significance to keep but most are just buildings and when they outlive their purpose they get torn down. Somebody didnt want whatever was there before the theatre torn down, or the field paved over or whatever it was. City council did its job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ugh. East Van. Such a dump. But so many want to keep it that way, because they can't afford to live in the city unless it's a dump. You know, just because you like living in Vancouver doesn't automatically mean you have the right to live there at whatever you can afford. Most of the people in Surrey/Richmond/Coquitlam/etc. want to live in Vancouver too - they just can't afford adequate housing where there is more demand.
