We are also losing the few historically significant buildings we have left. I don't think this is an acceptable way to treat people. I also believe the flight of artists will cost the city far more than it will gain from real estate sales. Save 901 Main please.

Too many people are living in substandard shelter or are leaving the city for the suburbs which encourages sprawl.

25 to 30% of the condos remain vacant only to be sold for capital gains 1 or 2 years later. Taxes on capital gains must increase or a limit on the number of dwellings any person can buy should be enacted.

Vacant condos is not Ecodensity.

Working artist since then.

Finally found a suitable space in Gastown 5 years ago. Run down building... spent money to repair and renovate. Have saved the building from fire/theft and neglect. It has been sold three times since I've been there (the last for a half million dollar profit).

The new landlord wants us out at the end of our lease 9 (Sept. 08).

Please help artists remain a part of this wonderful city.

Sincerely,
Jay Johnson

How dare you, whoever you are, with all of your money. All you want to do is make more money! Remember the abundance you already have. Find your peace and leave the artists to create their beauty, that's what Vancouver is all about, freedom to express. Take your money and be grateful you have it! Maybe go help the homeless, ever thought of SHARING? Sick men are those who live the life of greed. Sweet karma.
