LETTER: My family just can't take Surrey anymore

The Editor,

Re: "People who bash Surrey - get a life," the Now letters, Feb. 3. I did have a life here for 39 years - high school, a married life, two children and a good job.

My children were thriving, from Royal Heights and back to Newton again. It is - or was - a beautiful, quiet town.

We were happy here.

Now we have urban sprawl, guns, crime and relentless noisy traffic. I don't blame anyone who wants to come to Canada. It is a life and most likely much better than from where they came.

The latest gunfire incident, three doors down on Sunday Jan. 25, did it for me and sealed my disdain in concrete.

We are moving.

Yes, Surrey is a nice place to be from.

R.M.Ross,

Surrey
