Dear editor,

Dear editor,

I was shocked the other day to hear that Courtenay council, and apparently also the RCMP, oppose the establishment of a formal camp/shelter site for the homeless. According to one of the volunteers hosting a small awareness gathering at Simms Park on Nov. 13, city council prefers to keep the homeless scattered around the city 鈥渙ut-of-site鈥� and out of mind. Apparently it鈥檚 an optics thing. It is unclear when optics became more important than human life. When did our humanity go off the rails?

Dear editor,

The reality may be there is no physical space to build these ships in BC and there were no Canadian bidders, but let鈥檚 not forget how we got here.

As a renter in the Comox Valley who has spent the last three years being bumped from rental to rental and with prices going through the roof I have to say how incredibly disappointing it is to read another waive of 鈥淣ot here鈥� letters and opinions from the residents of Walbran Drive and Murrelet Place in Comox.
