I have just read our mayor’s comments on all the government housing that is being planned for Prince George.
As a taxpayer, I would like to know exactly who is going to be able to live in this housing? Is it just for marginalized people? Is it just for Prince George people? Or are we going to be bringing people here? Are we going to be bringing more problems into the city?
The biggest question I have is can our infrastructure handle the new load and is it going to be set up ro handle the load, like our hospital, our schools, our seniors care facilities and hospice care, policing, etc.
We have a complex issue that no one wants to talk about or deal with or know how to deal with. I guess that’s why we don’t hear anything from our city councillors on the subject. If you don’t have a downtown business or live in the Bowl, you probably don’t care, until you find out there is no room at the inn for yourself or a loved one.
Why would we want to promote a tent city anywhere in our city?
