Letter: Build smaller homes

"Big houses are no longer practical in the face of today's housing problems."
letter_to_editor

First off, where does a charity or a "not-for-profit" get off owning property to develop [“City defers decision on inclusion Powell River land,” September 16]?

Secondly, why are they wanting to build houses that only someone with $500,000 in their pocket can afford?

Big houses are no longer practical in the face of today's housing problems. Instead, build so-called "tiny homes" or small bungalows (like the ones that were torn out of Cranberry), or put in pads suitable for self-sufficient trailers or park-model RVs, more in line with what people (like seniors) can afford.
