Dear Editor:
The $550 million being spent by the province
to install a new retractable roof on the B.C. Place Stadium is the worst misallocation of resources I can remember.
The stadium roof is worn out but could have been replaced with one like the old one for perhaps $50 million.
The rest of the money should have been spent on housing the homeless or helping disadvantaged people get a new start or providing incentives for small businesses.
I can think of 101 better ways to spend that money.
The government has its priorities all wrong.
Garth Evans, Burnaby
