On Thursday, May 8, Friends of Soccer invited the six potential major candidates for Vancouver Mayor to use its website to state their position on the Whitecaps Stadium. We have promised to publish their statements in their entirety, unedited and without commentary. We have no intention of endorsing any particular mayoral candidate.
Today, Allan DeGenova of Vision Vancouver responded to our invitation. His campaign's website is www.allandegonova.com
Strathcona resident: I hate the idea of a stadium in my neighbourhood. How would it be good for my kids? We live a few blocks from GM place but that doesn't mean we get to go to games or skate on the ice. Same with a soccer stadium. It will only mean that people come to my neighbourhood and disrespect its environment and residents [particularly the marginalised].
