Re: More sides to Ocean Park issue, Feb. 5 letters.

When invasive, out-of-scale homes are built in well-established neighbourhoods, it degrades the quality of life of those who live there.

The City of Surrey’s current building bylaws are the same across the entire city with no regard for the unique differences of each area.

Invasive, out-of-scale homes take away natural beauty, privacy, sunlight, skyline and space.

“But your property value will go up” the developer said to us.

Does this mean our property value is worth more than our quality of life? Not in a million years!
