Dear editor,
I wonder what could have prompted Barb Tribe to write such an extraordinary letter
(Comox council completely ignored residents鈥� concerns regarding Aspen Road development). She should know better. She bemoans the weeds on the Lorne Hotel property; how many weeds are growing on the Aspen Road property? Inventory, or should I say, lack of inventory, is a big part of the problem. Driven in part by an over-zealous regulatory regime, and the sanctimonious NIMBY ( not in my back yard) brigade, we have the second least affordable housing market on the planet! We can talk about the cost of renting a small apartment some other time. The Town of Comox got it right, this time. Well done.
It is churlish at the least to take a smug cheap shot at a local Realtor. He lives, works in, and supports the community. And he is entitled to his opinion.
