A chandelier in the Orpheum Theater is beautiful. But hanging beneath a bridge wonders Sheila Weaver .

Will the public be invited down there periodically to High Tea, to go with this opulent absurdity? How long before it gets vandalized? Who will pick up the tab for police involvement and investigation, medical costs for injuries, lawsuits, et cetera, when this happens?

Of course, they must think the developer “ate” the $4.8-million cost. I bet they added that cost to the 106 units underlying the proposal, hence adding over $45,000 to the cost of each unit. Yet the city claims to be helping people to access cheaper housing.Time to review community gardens“Community gardens” are popping up everywhere. Dunbar now has several, including a whole city block. These benefit the developer because of significantly reduced property taxes.

Is it time to review this tax avoidance and come up with ways to speed up development? We need to encourage the building of housing where there are empty lots.We need more full-time family physiciansRe: Should clinics turn away those who are not ‘their’ patients? The real problem is that so many doctors complete their two-year residency in family practice and don’t go into full-service family practice. When I retired 16 years ago, 60 doctors completed their residency that year, but only six had committed to full-time family practice. The rest chose instead to work in drop-in clinics or do locums. Those that chose to do locums provided a much-needed service to full-time family doctors.
