Dear Editor,

I always appreciate Matthew Claxton’s opinion columns, which reveal the problems of living in the most overpriced real estate in the world which prompts me to suggest it’s past time for another round of wage and price controls considering the recent outrageous 25 per cent wage heist by a BC Transit Union, and the obvious need to create new cities across Canada before the Lower Mainland is choc-a-bloc concrete, highrises and asphalt especially since so many moderns wanting a home and kids can work from home in virtually any of the most scenic regions of Canada.

You don’t have to live within SkyTrain range of Roger’s Centre and other sites sponsoring over-priced attractions pressing the most mobile demograghic into a corner between an ocean and the U.S. border.

From a transformer of the BRICS Group from the five largest most disparately underdeveloped economies to affordably employ and house half the global population to the consternation of the IMF propping up exchange rates that kept the Third World impoverished.

Graham Gorling, Willoughby
