OUTSIDER GLIB ABOUT DRUG PROBLEMS

To the editor:

Re: the Aug. 7 letter to the editor regarding the parking lot in Strathcona 
that is plagued with hookers and drug addicts (Parking lot coverage is 
propaganda"). A quick Internet search of letter writer Alan Randell shows 
that he is a writer for the media awareness project www.mapinc.org, which 
promotes drug policy reform, and that he lives in Victoria.

If Randell actually lived in the neighborhood, perhaps he wouldn't feel so 
glib regarding the problems plaguing the local residents.
