City Housing Advocate - Advocates for Houseing

Here is something funny to read, from NPA bloggers City Caucus

City Staff Promote Political Rally

This is an opinion I don't understand. Why is there a backlash against people who work in govenerment having opionions related to thier job.

I would expect the Economic Development - Manager for COV to advocate for lower buisness taxes, just as I would expect the Housing advocate at the City of Vancouver, to advocate for more money for social houseing. But for some reason this is wrong and "political".

Frightingly enough the bureacracy is one of the more representative institutions that we have, this is how it is suposed to work, but no somehow working for the government means that one must be apolitical and have no opionions related to the work they do all day as if this were some how possible.

So silly but forgettibly partizan things often are, City Caucus is a fun blog to read however if only for the anger it generates and humerous/alarmist photos.
