All this talk about subsidized housing and services is a major concern. When decent citizens are worried about going downtown and/or parking in a public place, we have more than a serious problem. Let's face it, these drug addicts and street people are the authors of their own lives. Enough already! John Bidlake, Victoria. - --- MAP posted-by: Elaine
