Letter: Embrace value of seniors

By Cat Barry, VANCOUVER
Published: November 4, 2024, 6:00am

This is in response to the article about protecting mobile home parks from being sold for development as commercial buildings or other forms of housing (“A zoning change in Vancouver could prevent mobile home parks from being leveled for development,” The Columbian, Oct. 30). The park I live in, as well as many others, provides much-needed lower-income housing for vulnerable seniors, who would have nowhere to go if they were forced from their homes.

We need to be seen as a city that values these individuals, and not a city that coldly turns its back on its seniors.
