Hotel-condo prposal in Comox makes her shudder

Dear editor,
The prospect of a new hotel/condo development in the Comox waterfront makes me shudder.
If you want to know why, take a drive by the monstrosity sitting on the beach in Parksville. No doubt you will be as appalled as I am.

Dear editor,The prospect of a new hotel/condo development in the Comox waterfront makes me shudder.If you want to know why, take a drive by the monstrosity sitting on the beach in Parksville. No doubt you will be as appalled as I am.For those of you who think it will not encroach on public access and enjoyment, again I say, take a trip to Parksville where beach access is the width of a sidewalk with no parking anywhere near the beach.The people of Parksville have lived to regret this decision.  Unfortunately, the Comox development seems to be a done deal.  What a shame!Deborah Joyce,Comox
