Did you know that building a Habitat for Humanity housing development in your neighbourhood will result in drugs being sold in your kids' elementary school, gang fights in their high school, unruly families at the community's parks and movie theatres, and speeding drivers running over your children?
You didn't know that? Don't feel bad, I didn't either until recently. Thankfully Chris Perry and his wife Karleena wrote to the St. Albert Gazette to warn us decent, hard-working upper middle class citizens of these and other horrors that surely await our communities should we allow Habitat for Humanity to build homes within the confines of our gated suburban neighbourhoods.
