Are these comments typical of pro Whitecaps Stadium in gastown?

Just found a forum, discussing the Whitecaps Stadium, with the following content. And we think we have no reason to be concerned about the some of the (minority) aggressive members of the pro-stadium crowd who will be taking in a game … and beer…. a block or two west of here? Obviously, the vast, vast majority of soccer fans are wonderful human beings. But all it takes are a handful like these, and I’ll leave it to your imagination what could go wrong with a few beer in them, and an encounter with a homeless person. Contrast their vision of the area to that of those of us who live here, in this blog.

You can have empathy for your fellow man all you want, but if he doesn’t want your help or wastes his life on drugs, then to hell with him. Life has consequences. But it has second chances. But they don’t take advantage of it, the just take advantage of the poor fools that give them hand outs.

Posted – 3/3/2006 8:26:28 AM As I’ve always said, they should build low-income housing spread GVRD (near transit) and re-develop the entire DTES. Tear down the bed-bug flophouses and build some more tall buildings, maybe a freeway connection. Definitely the stadium. That area is a wasteland – business is dying there. And why? For a bunch of junkies, who demand to live in the middle of one of the strongest real estate markets in N. America. They have no right to live there, they have a right to live somewhere, but why should it be there? Spread them o
