When the North False Creek Business and Residents Association filed a petition on change.org asking the City of Vancouver to remove the homeless shelters at 900 Pacific and 1335 Howe Street, they likely did not expect a counter-petition to surface, asking their residents to get out of town.
A petition posted on December 9 titled “Remove the Selfish Yuppies from the City of Vancouver” by Megan Speers is asking Mayor Gregor Robertson to “get this dysfunctional, self-interested “community” out of our city before they destroy the whole thing.”
