And on this article "A Vancouver Sun Op-Ed on the DTES".<br />I was moved enough to drop a leave a responsea response :<br />) I do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Could it be simply me or does it give the impression like a few of the comments appear like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online social sites, I'd like to keep <br />up with you. Would you list the complete urls of your shared <br />pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?<br /><br /><br />Here is my blog post - <a href="http://www.free-videos-xxx.net/category/310/party/" rel="nofollow">http://www.free-videos-xxx.net/</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-58406815631675873692010-02-09T19:00:23.304-08:002010-02-09T19:00:23.304-08:00Gassy Jack's Ghost...fair comment about well m...Gassy Jack's Ghost...fair comment about well meaning outsiders.michael gellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988502321448301128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-75069428382182588372010-02-01T19:28:23.241-08:002010-02-01T19:28:23.241-08:00Michael, two things that leapt out at me when I re...Michael, two things that leapt out at me when I read your opening lines in this piece: urination in the streets of Gastown is done more often by rich kids with weak bladders bar hopping around the area, or the exploding population of toy dogs of condo owners -- witness the little dogshit divots left all over after clean-up. It is hardly limited to homeless people. And the dealers who used to deal from the site close to Woodwards (I won't say exactly where) were in fact clockers from a well established bike gang, you-know-who -- Woodwards is hardly going to put a dent in their activities, I'm afraid. These kind of offhand assumptions you make may seem trivial to others (and I don't expect many Sun readers would pick up on it anyway), but for those of us who live here every day, they really weaken the arguments of "outsiders" who, with good intentions no doubt, offer learned solutions to these issues. The huge level of misunderstanding is one of the biggest stumbling blocks to creating resolutions with consensus from all parties, and a big reason for the heightened state of mistrust from folks like the CCAP (who, I think, are ignorant in their own way, too). That said, I do support the micro-condos to a limited degree.Gassy Jack's Ghostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-88428244866831424082010-01-25T18:34:16.644-08:002010-01-25T18:34:16.644-08:00Jon, I read the story and have commented to France...Jon, I read the story and have commented to Frances Bula, who may be writing another story, that I think this is an excellent idea, and one worth supporting...even at 270 sq.ft. which is 10 sq.ft. larger than the micro suites we approved at UniverCity. thanksmichael gellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988502321448301128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-1227498526370337512010-01-24T16:49:16.461-08:002010-01-24T16:49:16.461-08:00Michael and friends, you may be interested in this...Michael and friends, you may be interested in this as you follow housing in the DTES:<br /><br />http://www.vancouversun.com/City+Small+Condos+Micro+lofts+come+Vancouver/2474576/story.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769872697054089193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088226422072866788.post-43587303033981363592010-01-23T12:11:16.606-08:002010-01-23T12:11:16.606-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
