#VoteSmart White Rock! There is only one Mayoral candidate that cannot be bought by developers and who is also a strong leader who can stand up for residents by making staff work for residents, not developers with deep pockets.
Darryl Walker claims that he is not interested in increasing heights, but he recently approved the 21 and 24 storey condo towers on Oxford Street. He also alowed staff to hire a pro-development contractor who was paid $160k to write the 11-Pillars of Housing document. This document recommends increasing building heights, encouraging single family homes be replaced with triplexes throughout White Rock, and eliminating single family neighborhoods by allowing more density everywhere.
This document also recommends eliminating public hearings and Council votes on OCP compliant developments, and instead having staff decide what development proposals get approved.
We need public input on new developments, and decisions made by elected officials who are answerable to the voters. Approving developments should not be left to staff to decide.
