They made it easier to build on flood plains Re: “ ‘Vulnerable’ Fraser Valley needs flood control plan, senators say,” Oct. 28.
The Senate committee report states that the 2021 floods “affected more than 1,000 farms, 15,000 hectares of land, 2.5 million livestock, and British Columbia’s road and railway infrastructure.”
The mayor of Chilliwack was quoted as saying that the changes were “good news for cities like Chilliwack,” and that they would “reduce the cost of building and buying a new home on the flood plain by thousands of dollars, and will result in more logical and effective city planning.” Several features distinguish humans from all other animal species. Two of them are a larger brain and the ability to reason. This may be true but where climate change is concerned, these advantages don’t come into play.
As if we need any more impetus to act, I suggest readers get a copy of the book The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Pedestrians need to keep this in mind, and pause before they cross, to make sure that the drivers see them and that the cars are stopping for them. I have had instances where I could not see people waiting to cross the road.
It seems to me to be simplistic logic that leads from the ruling to the murder. However, the letter-writer was expressing an all-too-common view of homelessness these days, the us-versus-them mentality. Those dastardly homeless, “affecting the public’s capacity to enjoy the public space their tax dollars pay for.”
