In the article “Did the Great Resignation hide a Great Retirement in Clark County?” (The Columbian, March 20), Schuyler Hoss is shown walking down the new Waterfront Vancouver, which he apparently helped create. Look at the photo and what don’t you see? Any place to sit down! You’re not supposed to sit around it, your supposed to sit in the expensive restaurants, or the expensive condos, or rent an expensive apartment, but you are not supposed to bring your tuna sandwich down there and eat it, as one opined recently in The Columbian.
Good for you, Hoss: you got yours, the rich got theirs, the working taxpayer got the bill. The Waterfront, a place paid for by millions of taxpayer dollars so the rich could make more money. An American success story played out all over America. I retired too, didn’t get my pension because the rich company I worked for, United Airlines, stole it. We live in a nation where corporations and hedge funds can steal a worker’s pension.
So here is the Waterfront Vancouver, a place that workers built but cannot stay around, unless you pay for parking. Be sure to move your car often!
