Not sure I agree entirely with the article, I think much of his support will evaporate if it ever comes to the polls but it still makes a good point. Income disparity has gotten scary over the last few decades. While living and growing up here in Vancouver I've seen it go from a beautiful city by the ocean to a very rich beautiful city by the ocean. And our famous downtown east side skid row here has only grown.
