People living in set of apartments near Metrotown are worried they’ll have no place to live.

Others like her say there’s not enough affordable rental housing, and that adding these two towers, one 41 and the other 26 storeys, would only make things worse.
With very few affordable rental housing units available in the city, many are joining the fight to keep these homes.

It's only now that the towers are going up that people are complaining. It's not like the plan to build them along Beresford was hidden and suddenly sprung on them with no warning, like in Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy...

Btw I knew someone who lived in one of those low rise buildings who described it as slumlord land.
