SAVE OUR COMMUNITY FROM UNCARING PEOPLE!



SAVE OUR COMMUNITY FROM UNCARING PEOPLE!
Working hand in hand with developers, Langley Township continue to force a plan that will change the landscape of Brookswood from a community with rural (“Horse capital of BC”) roots to a crowded urban wasteland of row housing and condos just like so many other communities in the Lower Mainland. We believe Langley Township is listening to the wrong people, and we wonder if the planners and “experts” who have devised this plan actually live in this community. It seems the Township doesn't care about keeping our community a beautiful place to live, where people can own larger properties with big trees, they just care about squeezing as many people (and as many tax dollars) out of the land as they possibly can. Don't let them do this to us and our wonderful community, don't let them destroy where we live the same way they did Willoughby! We CAN stop them! Gather together to save our homes and save the brooks and woods in Brookswood. Make your voice heard. Contact the Township of Langley, attend their meetings to find out what they have planned for your neighbourhood, voice your disapproval!

Casino in Langley Township?

Q:  When did casinos become the must have for communities?

A:  When local government started getting a cut of the gambling money.

Have you ever walked through a casino and watched the gambling zombies spend money with glazed eyes and a lost sense of self awareness.  It's sad.

It is also sad that governments have so lost their moral sense of awareness that they think it is a good thing to feed off of these people in order to increase revenue instead of using basic accounting practices to run a township.  In a tizzy of head-screwiness they even thought of putting one in Brookswood!  In a family oriented residential area!  This type of thinking shows how desperate the township is to generate more funds so they can then build more things that will then have to be maintained.

Casinos don't add much to the community.  Most of the money they generate goes elsewhere.  The supporters will say that casinos help pay for charities but they wreck more lives than they help due to individuals losing money to gambling addiction, money they could have used to pay for high taxes and bridge tolls.

Btw, what a marketing deal giving 10% of the yearly proceeds to local government is.

Heroin pushers do something similar to get things started...
