My point was that they are affordable to enough people that the buildings are not sitting vacant. In any case, none of those townhouses or new apartments are suitable for housing “the homeless”. The subsidized housing is mostly run by the Vancouver Housing Authority, (VHA).

On a side note, there was a fatal accident on I-5 this morning when a Southbound car struck and killed a pedestrian on the freeway, in the area of Marine Drive. Here is a Quiz: What possible demographic would be jaywalking across I-5 in the dark??

This is the third accident like this in the area, the other two resulted in injuries to both jaywalkers who tried to take on a car on Mill Plain Blvd in the areas around I-205. Its a matter of time till some vagrant gets killed jaywalking across the on/off ramps down there.

Except they are not. The people populating those new apartments have some sort of subsidy, guarantee it.

Exactly. It’s always amazing how these grifters and parasites running these scam operations can come up with alternospeak to disguise what they are really up to. How about an audit of her scam operation and let’s see where the “money” goes and how much gets laundered back to democrats.

We can start solving the homeless problem by making it less comfortable for vagrants to masquerade as people in need of “services”. I refer to the jaywalkers, squatters on freeway off ramps, garbage-burning campfire builders, car prowlers, garbage pickers and others who will never stop their behavior as long as these “non-profits” exist to hand out more taxpayer goodies.

Rent control by any other name is still rent control. There are fewer more effective ways to drive smaller landlords out of business than rent control. I can easily imagine a time, if Olympia gets its way, when rent control will prevent a property owner from recouping the ever increasing State and Local property taxes on the buildings.

Rent control presented as some sort of solution to homelessness is ludicrous, since many of the people on the streets have been there for years, are unemployed and unemployable. The best they can ever hope for is a Federal Section 8 voucher, but the line for those is long as well.

Lots of new apartments and townhouses being built in East Vancouver, and I don’t see very many of them sitting vacant for long. They must be affordable to a lot of people…
