Renters in Burnaby are feeling squeezed as older and more affordable low-rise rental apartments are demolished to make room for new condo towers — and they are looking to mayoral candidates for solutions. Two of the four mayoral candidates from the City of Burnaby, Mike Hurley and Helen Chang, debate what should be done to address development in Burnaby. Losing rental stockHelen Chang, who was elected as a school trustee in 2005, said building more rental housing would be key if she becomes mayor. Burnaby city council was the first in the province to act on the change and create its own rental zoning bylaw in July. It's aimed at keeping the same number of rental units in a designated area when new towers replace older apartments.
