Free ride must end

I agree with the comments made by letter writer T. Woodhams,Its high time the City of Surrey comes to grip with the secondary suite disaster, the ESL disaster, and the city’s inability to enforce bylaws that have been in place for years.It is time for those who have been getting a free ride on the back of all taxpayers to buck up. It should be the responsibility of those who chose to come to this country to prepare to learn the common language by not having those that do pay for it.  The infrastructure in place should be considered on all new developments proposed to ensure that development can be sustained without being a burden on the existing systems. Millions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted, and  millions of dollars of tax that could be collected are not. And it has to stop.Robert Gary Parkes, Surrey
