Vicki has a point. Diana has a point. The one point we are all missing is that the
question is not if a family can live in a 1 bedroom or not - the point missed is the
reality. Just look at the latest tragedy were a 2 month old died unatended although
the parents and 5 others lived in the 2 bedroom apartment. I come from this sort of
imigrant background and remember how it was to huddle 9 people in a 2 bedroom house.
And I consider myself to have been VERY lucky. Practicality and resources force people
to live in "substandard" living space.
The point is not about what is or is not available/affordable, but rather what are we
doing to get EVERYONE sheltered. The results of last nights council vote reflects what
I would say is a breath of fresh air. Action in a positive manner rather than rhetoric
and postponement that we suffered in the past council years!
I know we all know what is right and wrong. let's see if we can redirect this into
proposed atainable solutions.
Love to all,
Valdis Rozentals
