“Not Gentrification” for the mayor
The mayor of Quebec, Bruno Marchand, welcomes the development that will probably bring a permanent population in the old Quebec and contribute to the vitality of the Saint-Roch district bordering on the old refuge.
“It’s not a gentrification,” he says. This is the opposite of gentrification: no one is enforced by Lauberivière, the new space is 200 meters away. What it is, these are ruins on which we will make beautiful, light and bring people who will contribute to the economy of the sector. »»
The mayor also indicated that in his eyes it was “good news” that in Quebec it is worth $ 3,000. “So much better if the wealthy people want to come and live here,” said the chosen official. On the other hand, it is clear that it should not be only the top units that are built in the city center. »»
Bruno Marchand took the opportunity to praise the contribution of his administration in social housing matters and quoted in particular the retraining of the island of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and remembered that the Government of Quebec must also show you.
According to the opposition reserved for the rich
The opposition to the Town Hall accuses their administration for the delivery of the Quebek Center richest. “It’s a project that is almost perfect,” admits Limoila advisor and the head of the Ecological Party of Transition Quéec, Jackie Smith. We want to see the buildings of the inheritance that were recycled. We want green and larger houses in medium districts. We want buildings effective energy. It’s just that everything that has to come up with a price accessible to the population. »»
Quebec’s party equipment criticizes criticism for its part of the “Green Ideology” of Administration. “Tax loans do not build available housing, criticize Patrick Paquet, leader of UNADRED. They allow rich approaches to new projects, while modest workers and families will remain behind. »»
