Talk:Larry Campbell

message: Description of Campbell's political position was too biased.  Removed description of these positions as "socialist".  Calling left-wingers "socialist" is a rhetorical device in Canadian politics, and not a description of reality.  The centrist-left wing division between Campbell and his council is left in, however.--Simon.Pole 23:37, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm concerned about the named section being unencyclopedic and have labelled it as such. Here are my concerns/observations:
* I see potentially POV wording used, such as "fast achieving international fame as a trouble spot", "had no proven success", "bane on all Vancouver councils", "redevelopment is universally seen as necessary", etc.
* The name of the section itself "The need to try..." seems to assume a need which is POV
* I wonder if the section is actually on-topic, or perhaps just too detailed, for an article about Larry Campbell
Thoughts? --Ds13 21:13, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV dispute - The need to try a safe injection site

message: Removed party affiliations in the succession box to conform to the usage in all other articles on Vancouver mayors.  If they are edited back in, they should be edited back in on those other articles, as well.  ~~Fishhead64, 06:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Party Affiliations

message: * The east-Hastings (downtown eastside) proposed location of the site was originally the centre of the city but fast achieving international fame as a trouble spot
* All other approaches to the problem over a period of 40 years, from either a social justice or law-enforcement point of view had had no proven success
* Larry Campbell both a former policeman and former Coroner
* The previous mayor, Philip Owen, had visited many cities in Europe with similar problems and concluded that this approach was suited to Vancouver
A bane on all Vancouver councils in recent years has been the fate of the former Woodwards department store building, now a boarded up heritage building.  Its redevelopment is universally seen as necessary before the decaying part of city it occupies, located between the current downtown core and the downtown eastside, can be more generally redeveloped and prevent the world from seeing an urban dystopian landscape when the Winter Olympics are held in Vancouver in 2010.
While it was a minority on council, COPE councillors had always put pressure on Vancouver council to insist that the building be redeveloped as social housing.  Various deals to redevelop the building over the past 10 years have stumbled on this point.
Similarly, a high profile earlier social housing experiment, Vancouver's False Creek development, requires extension to accommodate the 2010 Olympic Village, and social activists are afraid that the resulting housing complex will make the entire region out of the price range of elderly and other disadvantaged people for whom the False Creek development was originally created 30 years ago.
:I'm moving the tag to the article with the assumption this issue is still open. Edit summary: 'moving pov tag to article (easier for readers to figure out where issue is, and if it is pov, they should have to come to Talk to find out)' Antonrojo 02:17, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
