If you want to solve ‘problem’ houses, get out your wallet
KAMLOOPS — Is Kamloops becoming the next Surrey?
That’s one of the questions showing up on social media in reaction to this week’s shooting on Nelson Avenue. Surrey does have a reputation for shootings, but in fact violent crimes are on the decrease there.
In Kamloops, though, we’ve had two shootings recently — one fatal — and people are understandably worried. They wonder why “problem” houses like the one involved in this week’s incident can’t simply be shut down.
