 Vancouver city councillor wants to make sure poor aren't evicted as Olympics nears

Vancouver (NEWS1130) -  People living in the American Hotel were facing eviction as of midnight, even though many tenants are legally allowed to stay.   Vancouver City Councillor Tim Stevenson says the city is breaking its word and he plans to bring an emergency motion to council on Tuesday to put a moratorium on the demolition of any more rooming houses. 

 He says the city is breaking its word, because it had promised to make sure there would not be any more evictions in the wake of the 2010 Olympics.  He says certain people are trying to cash in on rising real estate prices, and it ends up being at the expense of the city's most vulnerable.  Stevenson says these older hotels are in bad condition, but it provides shelter for our poor.  He says all levels of government should be putting in money to help find housing for those in need.
