BIV is reporting that "Alan Goodall has owned the Aura nightclub in Vancouver's entertainment district for 16 years, and says the situation for his business has never been worse. "Just in the last month alone, my ceiling has caved in in three different locations, three times," Goodall said of his club, located on the ground floor of the former Howard Johnson hotel on Granville Street."
"The hotel was purchased by the British Columbia government for supportive housing in 2020 and since then Vancouver fire crews have been called to the site 906 times, including for a fire on Wednesday. Vancouver police also say they've been called to the housing site thousands of times since it was converted."
"The latest fire has now prompted a commitment from the B.C. government to transition supportive housing out of the entertainment district, although there's no time frame."
Crews battle 2-alarm fire at former Howard Johnson hotel in Vancouver. That's not support housing that's crime promotion.
Don’t behave in apartment rental or damage get evicted . Same in a Sro nothing ?
ReplyDeleteOne would think. Failing to do that has created a huge public safety problem.
DeleteThis is all the fault of that brainless idiot named David Eby. He was a lawyer for all the disgusting crackheads in the downtown east side so it’s obvious that he feels way more sorry for them than he does for law abiding citizens. He needs to go. Funny how it took so many calls to the fire department for the provincial government to get off their butts and make a decision to relocate the SRO‘s outside of Granville. Send them back to Hastings where they belong.
DeleteAll part of the planned downward spiral brother.
