I am patiently awaiting the day when we elect a city council who works for the residents rather than the developers since we are the people who actually have to live here and a healthy, liveable and vibrant community will be more likely to attract the kind of residents we will want as neighbours in the future. Otherwise we have nobody to blame but ourselves when Langford is filled with a largely transient population that only lives here because they couldn't find any other place to live and feels no loyalty to the community since the community feels no loyalty to them. I don't want Langford to feel like Victoria's version of Surrey.

Thank you all for your participation on our site. For those wondering about the funky icons before people's comments, they're automatically generated for people who don't have a picture. Anyone who wants to can create a Wordpress account and replace it with a picture of their choice (be creative, no one says it has to be a picture of you if you don't want it to be). The automatically-generated picture is consistently shown if you keep entering the same information each time, for those not inclined to upload a picture you'll at least have a consistent icon. Thanks again, everyone. I’ve been gratified to see the increase in comments lately, and it was in response to this that I elected to make them more prominent on the front page.
