Re: “Too many people to ‘cram’ into White Rock,” Letters, Feb. 14.
Yes a lot of people will be moving to White Rock. But it is a beautiful place to live that will continue to be desirable.
The trick therefore will be to retain that charm in the inevitable pressure/desire to enjoy living in one of the nicest places in B.C.
I just had friends retire from Toronto to White Rock. They could have gone anywhere but after research, it was the place for them.
The reality for White Rock is to determine what kind of place it wants to be and how to be the best community it can be for that market population.
Whether we look at Germany, which has decided to be a place for Turks and Russians to migrate from, or Delta, where they aim at having more police per person, each community gets to set its goals and build how it will work.
No community can be all things to all people.
