The above story is similar to what is happening in our back yard and a number of other areas of Brookswood with homes owned by holding companies and developers. The owner of the house by us (on 42nd Ave. just east of 208th) doesn't seem to care who lives there or about the community his house sits in - it is confirmed that the owner lives in India. This place is an epicenter for problems, and the police and other officials have been there frequently. Just last week we had a screaming and bloody druggie overdosing outside our homes on 43a Ave. at 1 am. - he was carrying break-in implements and stolen items in his back-pack. :) There has been a sudden influx of property crime in the Fern Ridge area after 20+ years of relative quiet so it is cringe-worthy to think that impending development plans are bringing a dangerous and morally compromised under-society to Brookswood. It's important to remember that there are many kids walking to and from school along 42nd so there is a serious concern. The police had a hard time with the druggie who was violent and felt no pain other than his direct personal hell, so it is scary to think about what he could have done to a lone child walking along the street. Is this the new Brookswood or the new Langley? Is Whalley moving here? Are these the type of people who are being encouraged to move to Langley? What are the two Langleys doing to discourage them from setting-up here?

I
know this house and I think it just a block or so EAST of 208th, not
West. I agree that ownership is important, however, we do need more
density near existing infrastructure.
Oops,
fixed. But what kind of density? I grew up in a welfare town in rural
Ontario. They were jealous of the people who had work but would scream
up a cloud if they had to do so as well. Most of the people in
Brookswood are hard working Canadians or Canadians who have retired
after a life of hard work and they love their Country and their
community. If we could only have people here that feel the same then
yes, but not people who are going to live off the rest of us, or destroy
the nice community we have built. It seems that we are not doing
enough to prevent community destroyers like some individuals in the
house above from coming here.

My
freinds live down the road from that house, they stalk the properties
on that street getting ready to strike, they already have jumped people
walking past at night and pepper sprayed them, punched and kicked them,
looking for cigarettes. They are constantly "tweaking" looking for their
next high. That house IS frequented by trhe police, but nothing ever
comes of it. Get out Crackheads!
