VANCOUVER - A group of Downtown Eastside residents took their fight for social housing to the wealthy Terminal City Club. Inside, Vision Mayor Gregor Robertson was making a budget presentation to the business community at a $500/table luncheon. Outside, the crowd demanded social housing and were kept from talking directly to the mayor by heavy police presence at the club's front doors.
