Vancouver is moving forward with more modular housing, but while this is one way to house the homeless not everyone wants these homes in their neighbourhoods. The communities of Marpole and False Creek, two Vancouver neighbourhoods where residents say it's the wrong place for temporary housing, are resounding with concerns about tenants they fear could pose a risk to the communities they're housed in. People against proposed modular housing in the Vancouver community of Marpole rally outside city hall on Nov. 10, 2017. Derek Palaschuk, a spokesperson for Vancouver Caring Citizens Association in Marpole, and False Creek resident Catherine Simpson spoke with CBC about their concerns with modular housing projects in their neighbourhoods. He said the effort is being made to inform those with concerns and thinks it's unfair to categorize all higher needs tenants as violent offenders or addicts.
